Solution

The tasks that will assess the extraocular muscle function of the eye are both the corneal light reflex and the diagnostic positions test (6 cardinal positions). So, the answer is A and B.

Here's why:

  1. The corneal light reflex test: This test is used to assess the alignment of the eyes. The light is shone into each eye and the reflection off the cornea is observed. If the eyes are properly aligned, the light reflection will be in the same spot on each eye.

  2. Diagnostic positions test (6 cardinal positions): This test is used to assess the function of the six extraocular muscles that control eye movement. The patient is asked to follow the movement of an object or the examiner's finger in six different directions. Any deviation from normal could indicate a problem with one or more of the extraocular muscles.
