Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Corneal staining is used when the possibility of eye trauma exists, including a foreign body. Fluorescein angiography is used to assess problems of retinal circulation. Ophthalmoscopy looks at both internal and external eye structures. Tonometry tests the intraocular pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Anisocoria is a noticeable difference in the size of a person's pupils. This is a normal finding in a small percentage of the population. Infection, trauma, and tumors are not related.
