A nurse is examining the eyes of a client who has complained of havin
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
g a feeling of a foreign body in his eye. The nurse examines the thin, tr
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
ansparent, continuous membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids an

d covers most of the anterior eye. The nurse recognizes this membrane

mas which of the following?
m m m m
a) Cornea
b) Conjunctiva
c) Retina
d) Sclera - ...ANSWER...Conjunctiva m m
Explanation:
The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent, continuous membrane that is di
m m m m m m m m m m
vided into two portions: a palpebral and a bulbar portion. The palpebr
m m m m m m m m m m m
al conjunctiva lines the inside of the eyelids, and the bulbar conjunctiv
m m m m m m m m m m m
a covers most of the anterior eye, merging with the cornea at the limb

us. The innermost layer, the retina, extends only to the ciliary body an

teriorly. It receives visual stimuli and sends them to the brain. The scle
m m m m m m m m m m m m
ra is a dense, protective, white covering that physically supports the in
m m m m m m m m m m m
ternal structures of the eye. The transparent cornea (the "window of th
m m m m m m m m m m m
e eye") permits the entrance of light, which passes through the lens to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
the retina. m

a. The presence of nystagmus in all fields
m m m m m m

c. Presence of the red reflex m m m m
d. Smooth, coordinated movement of the eyes -

m...ANSWER... EXPLANATION: Smooth, coordinated movement of m m m m m
mthe eyes- m
the six cardinal fields test eye movements and the muscle of the eye. n
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
ormal findings include smooth, coordinated movement of the eyes wit
m m m m m m m m m

tion. a symmetrical corneal light reflex is the expected response of the
m m m m m m m m m m m m
corneal light reflex test. the red reflex is assessed when using the opht

halmoscope.
A nurse is presenting a class to a local community group about vision a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
nd eye health. As part of the presentation, the nurse explains how visu
m m m m m m m m m m m m
al perception occurs. Which of the following would the nurse include i
m m m m m m m m m m m
n the explanation?
m m
a) It primarily involves the lens of the eye.
m m m m m m m
b) It allows the eyes to focus on near objects.
m m m m m m m m
c) It begins with light rays striking the retina.
m m m m m m m
d) It refers to a client's subjective appraisal of his or her vision. -
m m m m m m m m m m m m
...ANSWER...It begins with light rays striking the retina. m m m m m m m
Explanation:
Visual perception occurs as light rays strike the retina, where they are t
m m m m m m m m m m m m
ransformed into nerve impulses, conducted to the brain through the op
m m m m m m m m m m
tic nerve, and interpreted. The lens does not contribute directly to visu
m m m m m m m m m m m
al perception. Accommodation is the process that allows the eyes to fo
m m m m m m m m m m m
cus on near objects.
m m m
The nurse is conducting a visual examination. Which of these stateme
m m m m m m m m m m
nts regarding visual pathways and visual fields is true?
m m m m m m m m
a. The right side of the brain interprets the vision for the right eye.
m m m m m m m m m m m m
b. The image formed on the retina is upside down and reversed from
m m m m m m m m m m m
mits actual appearance in the outside world.
m m m m m m
c. Light rays are refracted through the transparent media of the eye
m m m m m m m m m m
mbefore striking the pupil. m m m
,d. Light impulses are conducted through the optic nerve to the
m m m m m m m m m
mtemporal lobes of the brain. - ...ANSWER...B
m m m m m m
RATIONALE: The image formed on the retina is upside down and r m m m m m m m m m m m
eversed from its actual appearance in the outside world. The light ray
m m m m m m m m m m m
s are refracted through the transparent media of the eye before strikin
m m m m m m m m m m m
g the retina, and the nerve impulses are conducted through the optic n
m m m m m m m m m m m m
erve tract to the visual cortex of the occipital lobe of the brain. The le
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
ft side of the brain interprets vision for the right eye.
m m m m m m m m m m
A patient has a normal pupillary light reflex. The nurse recognizes th
m m m m m m m m m m m
at this reflex indicates that:
m m m m
a. The eyes converge to focus on the light.
m m m m m m m
b. Light is reflected at the same spot in both eyes.
m m m m m m m m m
c. The eye focuses the image in the center of the pupil. d.Constri
m m m m m m m m m m m
ction of both pupils occurs in response to bright light. -
m m m m m m m m m m
...ANSWER...D
EXPLANATION: The pupillary light reflex is the normal constrictio m m m m m m m m
n of the pupils when bright light shines on the retina. The other respon
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
ses are not correct.
m m m
In using the ophthalmoscope to assess a patient's eyes, the nurse notice
m m m m m m m m m m m
s a red glow in the patient's pupils. On the basis of this finding, the nur
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
se would:
m
a. Suspect that an opacity is present in the lens or cornea.
m m m m m m m m m m
b. Check the light source of the ophthalmoscope to verify that it is
m m m m m m m m m m m
mfunctioning.
c. Consider the red glow a normal reflection of the ophthalmoscope
m m m m m m m m m
mlight off the inner retina.
m m m m
d. Continue with the ophthalmoscopic examination, and refer the
m m m m m m m
mpatient for further evaluation. - ...ANSWER...C
m m m m m
EXPLANATION: The red glow filling the person's pupil is the red re m m m m m m m m m m m
flex and is a normal finding caused by the reflection of the ophthalmo
m m m m m m m m m m m m
scope light off the inner retina. The other responses are not correct.
m m m m m m m m m m m
The nurse is examining a patient's retina with an ophthalmoscope. Whi
m m m m m m m m m m
ch finding is considered normal?
m m m m
, a. Optic disc that is a yellow-orange color
m m m m m m
b. Optic disc margins that are blurred around the edges
m m m m m m m m
c. Presence of pigmented crescents in the macular area
m m m m m m m
d. Presence of the macula located on the nasal side of the retina -
m m m m m m m m m m m m
...ANSWER...A
RATIONALE: The optic disc is located on the nasal side of the retin m m m m m m m m m m m m
a. Its color is a creamy yellow-
m m m m m m
orange to a pink, and the edges are distinct and sharply demarcated, n
m m m m m m m m m m m m
ot blurred. A pigmented crescent is black and is due to the accumulati
m m m m m m m m m m m m
on of pigment in the choroid.
m m m m m
When performing the corneal light reflex assessment, the nurse notes t
m m m m m m m m m m
hat the light is reflected at 2 o'clock in each eye. The nurse should:
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
a. Consider this a normal finding. m m m m
b. Refer the individual for further evaluation.
m m m m m
c. Document this finding as an asymmetric light reflex.
m m m m m m m
d. Perform the confrontation test to validate the findings. -
m m m m m m m m
...ANSWER...A
EXPLANATION: Reflection of the light on the corneas should be in m m m m m m m m m m m
exactly the same spot on each eye, or symmetric. If asymmetry is note
m m m m m m m m m m m m
d, then the nurse should administer the cover test.
m m m m m m m m
The nurse is performing an eye-
m m m m m
screening clinic at a daycare center. When examining a 2-year-
m m m m m m m m m
old child, the nurse suspects that the child has a "lazy eye" and should:
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
a. Examine the external structures of the eye.
m m m m m m
b. Assess visual acuity with the Snellen eye chart.
m m m m m m m
c. Assess the child's visual fields with the confrontation test.
m m m m m m m m
d. Test for strabismus by performing the corneal light reflex test. -
m m m m m m m m m m
...ANSWER...D
Testing for strabismus is done by performing the corneal light reflex t
m m m m m m m m m m m
est and the cover test. The Snellen eye chart and confrontation test ar
m m m m m m m m m m m m
e not used to test for strabismus.
