When Mr. McCoy was given a visual acuity test and his results was 20/80. The bottom number is measured in feet a person with normal vision would have to stand to see the same chart letters clearly.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that in a visual acuity test, the results are expressed as a fraction. The top number represents the distance at which the test is conducted (in this case, 20 feet), and the bottom number represents the distance at which a person with normal vision would be able to see the chart letters clearly (in this case, 80 feet). Therefore, if Mr. McCoy's results were 20/80, it means that he can only see the chart letters clearly at a distance of 20 feet, whereas a person with normal vision would be able to see them clearly at a distance of 80 feet. Hence, the statement "The bottom number is measured in feet a person with normal vision would have to stand to see the same chart letters clearly" is true.Rate this question:

Mr. McCoy scored 20/63 on the visual acuity test for his right eye in the health clinic. This means that he can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 63 feet. This indicates that his visual acuity for his right eye is below average, as he needs to be closer to an object in order to see it clearly compared to someone with normal vision.Rate this question:

- A.
Audiometric Hearing Test
- B.
Rinne Test
- C.
Weber Test
- D.
Snellen Eye Chart Test
- E.
Fasting Plasma Glucose Test
Correct Answer(s)
A. Audiometric Hearing Test
B. Rinne Test
C. Weber TestExplanation
The correct answer is Audiometric Hearing Test, Rinne Test, and Weber Test. These tests are specifically related to assessing the patient's hearing difficulty. The Audiometric Hearing Test measures the patient's ability to hear sounds of different frequencies and volumes. The Rinne Test compares air conduction to bone conduction to determine if there is any hearing loss. The Weber Test assesses if there is any unilateral hearing loss or if the hearing loss is equal in both ears. The Snellen Eye Chart Test and Fasting Plasma Glucose Test are unrelated to the patient's hearing difficulty and are not relevant diagnostic tests in this case.Rate this question:
