1. What is HCAHPS?: Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
2. What is ETOH?: ethanol (alcohol)
3. What are the signs and symptoms of ETOH withdrawal?: hallucinations, seizures, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, anxiety,
agitation, diaphoresis, tachycardia
4. What is cranial nerve II?: Optic - visual acuity
5. What is cranial nerve III?: Oculomotor- controls all eye movement except what is controlled by CN IV and CN VI
6. What is cranial nerve IV?: Trochlear- controls downward and inwards eye movements
7. What is cranial nerve VI?: Abducens- controls lateral eye movements
8. What is the test for CN II function?: Snellen chart
9. What is the test for CN III function?: look for the 6 cardinal signs of gaze; specifically upwards movement which is
solely performed by CN III PERRLA
10. What is the test for CN IV function?: instruct the patient to follow your finger while you move it towards his nose
11. What is the test for CN VI function?: perform the 6 cardinal signs of gaze; specifically the lateral movements for
this nerve
12. what is the difference between administering ear drops to a child vs an adult?: - for children, pull the pinna down
and back - for adults, pull the pinna up and back
*gently massage the tragus to ensure drops get all the way through the ear canal, then have patient stay on their side for a
few minutes
,13. How should the eye drops be given?: Place drops into the lower conjunctival sac
14. What is conductive hearing loss?: hearing loss that is caused by damage to the bones in the middle ear, obstruction
in outer ear, ruptured tympanic membrane
15. What is sensorineural hearing loss?: hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptor cells or to the auditory
nerves; also called nerve deafness; MOST COMMON CAUSE OF THIS HEARING LOSS IS AGING - other causes
include aging, ototoxicity, loud noises, tumors
16. What is macular degeneration?: a disease that progressively destroys the macula, the central
portion of the retina, impairing central vision
17 What are the two types of macular degeneration?: - Wet: blood vessels grow under the retina and leak; less common
and comes on rapidly
- Dry: the macula gets thinner with age; most common and develops gradually
18. What is vertigo?: Inner ear disorder, evokes a feeling of illusory movement. Transient feeling of spinning and
dizziness
19. What is the physiological cause of vertigo?: Abnormalities in the semi-circular canals or CNS structures
20. What are some nursing interventions for vertigo?: medications, change positions slowly,
space fluids evenly throughout the day; assess patient frequently for depression and anxiety
21. What are some risk factors that are associated with the development of
vertigo?: medications, head injury, upper respiratory infection, viral infections, tumors, migraines, older than 60, family
history
22. What is meneires disease?: (My ears disease) An idiopathic chronic condition associated with fluid buildup in the
ear.
23. What are some symptoms associated with meniere's disease?: vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, ear pressure, nausea,
and imbalance
, 24. What are some nursing interventions for meniere's disease?: keep environment
safe, quiet, and dimly lit, enforce bed rest, provide emotional support, administer meds (may include antihistamines:
meclizine & diphenhydramine, antiemetics, mild diuretics, and diazepam for the anxiety)
25. What is senescence?: The gradual decline of all organ systems due to aging, leading inevitably to death
26. What is sclerosis?: abnormal hardening of body tissue
27. what is stenosis?: narrowing
28. what are some common age related issues in the CV system?: heart disease, heart
failure, and atrial fibrillation (pacemaker fires sporadically resulting in blood standing still in the atria)
29. what are some common age related issues in the Neurological system?: dementia, depression, parkinson's disease,
cerebrovascular accidents
30. What are some common age related cognitive issues?: episodic memory diminishes, free recall diminished,
working memory decreases, processing speed decreases
31. What are some common age related renal issues?: increased risk for dehydration, de-
creased excretion of meds and toxins, hypo and hyper natremia and kalemia (body has difficulty regulating electrolytes)
32. What are some common age related GU and reproductive issues?: female
anatomy atrophy, decreased reproductive hormone levels, incontinence, sexual dysfunction
33. What are some common age related GI issues?: delayed gastric emptying, delayed
transport through the colon, increased acid secretion (GERD and B12 deficiency), decreased size of liver and pancreas
34. What are some common age related HEENT issues?: presbycusis, tinnitus, and decreased olfactory and gustatory
function
35. What are AREDS?: vitamin formula for eye health; WILL NOT HEAL DISEASES THAT HAVE ALREADY
