Answer to Question 1

3
Several reading need to be taken throughout the day to establish the highest reading to be the treated pressure. Normal intraocular pressure ranges from 12 to 16 mmHg. The reading of 25 mmHg is not low or normal. Medication can be prescribed to reduce the pressure.

Answer to Question 2

4
Cranial nerve V or Trigeminal nerve has three branches. The mandibular branch innervates the muscles for chewing. Cranial nerve IX glossopharyngeal innervates the muscles of swallowing. Cranial nerve X innervates the gastrointestinal tract through parasympathetic tracts of the nerve. Cranial nerve XI innervates the muscles of the neck for movement.
