Answer to Question 1

1. Risk of cardiovascular disease
3. Risk of colon cancer
4. Risk of hypertension

Rationale:
Regular physical activity results in a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, and hypertension. It does not decrease the risk of skin cancer or renal disease.

Answer to Question 2

4. Rosenbaum eye chart

Rationale:
The Rosenbaum eye chart is used to test for near or reading vision. The Snellen chart is used to test far or distant vision. A penlight is used to test extraoccular movements and pupillary response. The cover-uncover test is used to assess for eye muscle strength.
