CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+
A nurse is preparing an in-service for a group of staff
members about types of tests used to diagnose sensory
impairments. Which of the following informations should
the nurse include?
- An electromyography (EMG) test is performed by placing
small electrodes on the scalp.
- A fluorescein angiography test diagnoses dysfunction of
the cochlea.
- A bone oscillator test measures how efficiently sound
waves are transmitted through the ossicles.
- An Amsler grid test is performed by looking at the internal
eye using a slit lamp. - ANSWERS-A bone oscillator test
measures how efficiently sound waves are transmitted
through the ossicles.
,A bone oscillator test measures how well vibrations are
transmitted through the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) of
the ear.
A nurse is preparing to perform a cranial nerve assessment
on a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse
take to assess cranial nerve II?
- Check the client's visual acuity using a Snellen chart
- Have the client identify a specific smell.
- Whisper on one of the client's ear while occluding the
other.
- Observe for facial symmetry while the client smiles. -
ANSWERS-Check the client's visual acuity using a Snellen
chart.
Cranial nerve II is the optic nerve, which provides the
sensory function for vision. The nurse should assess the
cranial nerve by checking the client's visual acuity and visual
fields.
A charge nurse is discussing hearing test with a newly
licensed nurse. Which of the following information should
the charge nurse include?
, - The audiometer test measures the brain's electrical activity
in response to sounds.
- A tuning fork is placed against the client's mastoid bone
during the Rinne test.
- The otoacoustic stimulation (OAE) test is the most
commonly performed hearing test.
- Small electrodes are placed behind the client's ears during
an electromyography test. - ANSWERS-A tuning fork is
placed against the client's mastoid bone during the Rinne
test.
The Rinne test is performed when a tuning fork is struck and
placed against the mastoid bone. The client identifies when
they can no longer hear any sound. The tuning fork is then
placed 1-2 cm away from the ear and the client identifies if
they can still hear the sound.
A nurse is reviewing discharge instructions with a client who
has macular degeneration. Which of the following
information should the nurse include in the instructions?
- Availability of aids to enhance vision
- Antibiotic therapy
- Risks associated with the loss of peripheral vision
