statement is true
regarding the otoscope? The otoscope:
a. Is often used to direct light onto the sinuses.
b. Uses a short, broad speculum to help visualize the ear.
c. Is used to examine the structures of the internal ear.
d. Directs light into the ear canal and onto the tympanic membrane.

3. An examiner is using an ophthalmoscope to examine a patient’s eyes.
The patient has astigmatism and is nearsighted. The use of which of
these techniques would indicate that the examination is being correctly
performed?
a. Using the large full circle of light when assessing pupils that are not
dilated
b. Rotating the lens selector dial to the black numbers to compensate for
astigmatism
c. Using the grid on the lens aperture dial to visualize the external structures
of the eye
d. Rotating the lens selector dial to bring the object into focus
RATIONALE: The ophthalmoscope is used to examine the internal eye
structures. It can compensate for nearsightedness or farsightedness, but
it will not correct for astigmatism. The grid is used to assess size and
location of lesions on the fundus. The large full spot of light is used to
assess dilated pupils. Rotating the lens selector dial brings the object
into focus.
4. A man is at the clinic for a physical examination. He states that he
is “very anxious” about the physical examination. What steps can
the nurse take to make him more comfortable?
a. Appear unhurried and confident when examining him.
b. Stay in the room when he undresses in case he needs assistance.
c. Ask him to change into an examining gown and to take off his
undergarments.
d. Defer measuring vital signs until the end of the examination, which
allows him time to become comfortable.
