Visual acuity is assessed with:
Snellen eye chart
The cover test is used to assess for:
muscle weakness
When using the ophthalmoscope, you would:
remove your own glasses and approach the patient's left eye with your left eye
The 6 eye muscles that control eye movement are innervated by cranial nerves:
III, IV, VI
Conjunctivitis
redness of the conjunctiva
normal peripheral vision would see finger at
90 degrees
patient blind in left eye, what happens when light in right
both constrict
interruption of red reflex happens when
there is opacity of cornea or lens
One cause of visual impairment in aging adults is:
glaucoma
PERRLA
pupils equal, round, reactive to light and accommodation
cause of red reflex
light reflecting from the retina
color of tympanic membrane
pearly gray
sensioneural hearing loss
related to gradual nerve degeneration
Before ear exam, palate
pinna, tragus, and mastoid process
Ear exam of 3 year old
pull pinna down
,ear exam of adult
pull pinna up and back
darwin tubercle
a congenital, painless nodule at the helix
when assessing patients ear
tilt head away from examiner
The hearing receptors are located in the
cochlea
The sensation of vertigo may indicate:
pathology in the semicircular canals
common cause of conductive hearing loss
impacted cerumen
Signs of ear infection
absent light reflex, red and bulging drum
Reducing risk of ear infection
dont smoke in house or car
assessing hearing in babies
watch for head turn when you call their name
patient w head injury has clear watery drainage from ear
consider possible basal skull fracture, refer immediately
common site of nose bleeds
kiesselbach plexus
Which sinuses can you assess through examination?
frontal and maxillary
the frenulum is the
midline fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth
The largest salivary gland is located:
within the cheeks in front of the ear
old woman with dry mouth
medication
find a deviated septum, what next
document in case it needs suction
Oral malignancies are most likely to develop:
in the mucosal "gutter" under the tongue
tonsils 3+
tonsils touch the uvula
function of nasal turbinates
warm the inhaled air
Opening of adult's parotid gland is opposite what?
upper 2nd molar
A nasal polyp is distinguished from the nasal turbinates by 3 things
moveable, pale/gray, nontender
The examiner notes small, round, white, shiny papules on the hard palate and gums of
a 2-month-old infant. What is the significance of this finding?
epstein pearls, normal
, We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
when assessing tongue
palpate u shaped area under tongue
expected finding of 75 year old oral cavity
decreased ability to identify odors
african american with flat, 3cm, nontender, gray/white lesion on bucal mucosa
leukodema, normal
The manubriosternal angle is
the articulation of the manubrium and the body of the sternum
description of left lung
narrower than the right lung with two lobes
Documentation of cough
productive cough for at least 3 months throughout the year, happens last two years
Confirm symmetric chest expansion
-Place hands on posterior chest wall thumbs at T9 or T10 slide medially pinch up skin
between thumbs
Auscultation of breath sounds
Hold the diaphragm of the stethoscope against the chest wall; listen to one full
respiration in each location, being sure to do side to side comparisons
Bronchiovesicular breath sounds
medium-pitched, moderately loud sounds heard over the mainstem bronchi; inspiration
= expiration
Fever, increased respiratory rate, chest expansion decresed on left side, dull to
percussion over left low lobe, loud breath sounds w crackles on low left lobe
lobar pneumonia
angle of nail is less than 160 and spongy, indicates-
congenital heart disease and COPD
Coarse and low pitched sound heard on inspiration and expiration and accompanied by
pain with breathing.
Pleural friction rub
egophony test
patient says "eeee" when diaphragm moved
Examine for tactile fremitus
palpate chest symmetrically
pulse oximetry measure
arterial oxygen saturation of hemoglobin
pleural friction rub best detected by
auscultation
A barrel-shaped chest is characterized by:
equal anteroposterior transverse diameter and ribs being horizontal
Apex
3 to 4cm above inner third of clavicles
base
rests on diaphragm
Lateral left
