A) Cataracts
B) Glaucoma
C) Macular degeneration
D) Blurring of near vision. Answer -Ans: D
The lens loses its elasticity over time as part of the normal aging process, and the eye is less
able to accommodate and focus on near objects; therefore, the patient will be expected to have
blurring of near vision.
2. A 72-year-old retired truck driver comes to the clinic with his wife for evaluation of hearing
loss. He has noticed some decreased ability to hear what his wife and grandchildren are saying
to him. He admits to lip-reading more. He has a history of noise exposure in his young adult
years: He worked as a sound engineer at a local arena and had to attend a lot of concerts. Based
on this information, what is the most likely finding regarding his hearing acuity?
A) Loss of acuity for middle-range sounds
B) Increase of acuity for low-range sounds
C) Loss of acuity for high-range sounds
D) Increase of acuity for high-range sounds. Answer -Ans: A
Human speech is considered to be a middle-range sound. During the aging process there is a
loss of acuity, starting with high-pitched sounds but extending to the middle range and then
into the low range.
3. A 79-year-old retired banker comes to your office for evaluation of difficulty with urination;
he gets up five to six times per night to urinate and has to go at least that often in the daytime.
He does not feel as if his bladder empties completely; the strength of the urinary stream is
diminished. He denies dysuria or hematuria. This problem has been present for several years
but has worsened over the last 8 months. You palpate his prostate. What is your expected
physical examination finding, based on this description?
A) Normal size, smooth
B) Normal size, boggy
C) Enlarged size, smooth
D) Enlarged size, boggy. Answer -Ans: C
This is the expected physical examination finding in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
4. A 70-year-old retired auto mechanic comes to your office because his neighbor is concerned
about his memory. The patient himself admits to misplacing his keys more often and forgets
what he is supposed to buy from the grocery store and where he has parked the car. He denies
getting lost in familiar places. Upon further questioning, he states that his wife of 40 years died
8 months ago; his three children live in three different states; and he has limited his activities
because the people he interacted with were "his wife's friends, not his." He drinks a six-pack of
beer daily; he does not smoke or use illicit drugs. You perform a mini-mental state examination
and obtain a total score of 24 out of 28. Based on this information, what is your most likely
diagnosis?
A) Benign forgetfulness
