2026 FULL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GRADED A PLUS COMPLETE REVISION GUIDE
◉ Check for nystagmus.
Answer: -involuntary jerking movement of the eyes with quick and
slow components.
- It is named for the direction of the quick component
- seen in cerebellar disease and vestibular disorders and in
internuclear ophthalmoplegia
◉ Jaundice.
Answer: yellow sclera
◉ how do get a patient to open up when upset.
Answer: effective reassurance is simply identifying and
acknowledging the patient's feelings.
-Partnering
-Summarizing
-Transitions
- Empowering the pt
, ◉ s/s of degenerative pain.
Answer: -Slowly progressive, with temporary exacerbations after
periods of overuse
-usually insidious
- flexion and deviation deformities
◉ How otosclerosis presents with Weber and Rinne test.
Answer: - Weber: Sound lateralizes to impaired ear. Room noise not
well heard, so detection of vibrations improves
- Rinne: BC longer than or equal to AC. While air conduction through
the external or middle ear is impaired, vibrations through bone
bypass the problem to reach the cochlea.
◉ Cherry angiomas.
Answer: Benign
◉ Interpreting visual acuity test.
Answer: Vision of 20/200 means that at 20 feet the patient can read
print that a person with normal vision could read at 200 feet. The
larger the second number, the worse the vision. "20/40 corrected"
means the patient could read the 20/40 line with glasses (a
correction).
