Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A simple contusion of the eye area is manifested by bruising and edema of the lids or surrounding eye area, intact extraocular eye movement, intact visual acuity, absence of diplopia or blurred vision, pain surrounding the eye but not within the eye, and pupils that are equal, are round, and react to light and accommodation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Testosterone is needed to stimulate sexual desire in women. Thus, an evaluation of this level would be done. Progesterone is often called the hormone of pregnancy because of its calming effect (reduction in uterine contractions) on the uterus, allowing pregnancy to be maintained. Estrogen is the predominant hormone at the end of the follicular phase. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone induces the release of FSH and LH to assist with ovulation.
