Answer to Question 1

3
A deep tendon reflex of normal would be documented 2+. A deep tendon reflex that is very brisk would be documented as 4+. A deep tendon reflex being more brisk than normal would be documented as 3+. A deep tendon reflex that is sluggish would be documented as 1+.

Answer to Question 2

1
Legal blindness is defined as vision of 20/200 or less on a Snellen chart in the better eye with correction. The eye needs to have correction in order to be diagnosed as legally blind; therefore, the choice of 20/200 in the worse eye without correction would be incorrect. The vision measurements of the other choices can be corrected with lenses and would not be categorized as legal blindness.
