Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The mucous membrane lining the middle ear is continuous with the mucous membranes lining the pharynx. The manifestations of a sinus infection or tonsillitis would not include auditory compromise. The inner ear is not implicated in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The movement of an eye with the cover test indicates weakness of the eye muscles. Presbyopia is impaired near vision resulting from a loss of elasticity of the lens related to aging. In younger patients, this condition is referred to as hyperopia (farsightedness). Myopia is the term for nearsightedness.
