Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The ear is divided into three areas: the external ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. All three are involved in hearing, but only the inner ear is involved in equilibrium. The vestibular apparatus contained in the inner ear must be working adequately for the client to be able to maintain a sense of balance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The vestibule is made up of the lips, buccal mucosa, outer surface of the gums and the teeth and cheeks. The mouth is separated from the vestibule by the teeth. The mouth is made up of the tongue, hard and soft palate, uvula, mandibular arch, and axillary arch.
