Answer to Question 1

B
If the Weber test is positive, the patient should undergo the Rinne test to assess the type of hearing loss. The Romberg test is performed to test equilibrium. Pure tone audiometry uses a machine to hear sounds at different volumes while the patient wears a headset. Tympanometry assesses pressure in the ear; it does not assess hearing.

Answer to Question 2

B
According to the National Weather Service, deaths from lightning strikes lead all other categories of weather-related fatalities, exceeded in some years only by floods. It is important for professionals, participants, and outdoor recreation providers to understand severe weather conditions, specifically thunderstorms and lightning, and the dangers associated with them.
