Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Keratitis is inflammation of the cornea that can lead to blindness in the affected eye. Keratitis is commonly caused by herpetic and other infections, ischemia, chemical exposures, foreign bodies, or corneal abrasions. Keratitis is noteworthy because it can lead to ulcerations, opacities, and blindness of the affected eye; thus, patients suspected of this disorder should be immediately referred to an ophthalmologist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Preauricular nodes are nonpalpable and nontender in allergic conjunctivitis, usually nonpalpable in bacterial conjunctivitis, and palpable in viral conjunctivitis.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
