Answer to Question 1

2, 4, 5
Somatosensory evoked potentials are used to measure time in meters per second from the stimulation of a peripheral nerve through the response. It is useful in the evaluation of radiculopathies and peripheral nerve function and the diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. This diagnostic test is not used for multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, or Huntington's chorea.

Answer to Question 2

1
Brown-, tea-, or cola-colored urine; flank pain; and periorbital edema are expected findings. Hypotension, hip pain, and bradycardia are not associated with this disorder.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
