Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Pulling at the ear is a characteristic sign of otitis media in a young child. Pulling at the ear does not indicate a sore throat, hunger, or a head cold.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, D

The onset of OA is gradual while the onset of RA may be rapid. RA affects multiple joints symmetrically while OA affects one joint at a time. The affected joints in OA feel cold to the touch while the joints affected by RA are warm or hot to the touch. OA is slowly progressive while RA has exacerbations and remissions. Pain associated with RA is predominant upon arising versus the pain in OA, which is with activity.
