Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Annual eye exams are recommended for all older adults. Cotton-tipped applicators should not be used for cerumen removal and exercise does not directly influence vision. Diabetes and arteriosclerosis are implicated in vision loss, not in hearing loss.

Answer to Question 2

B
