Instructions: Select the best answer where options are provided. Correct answers and
rationales are shown in blue for study and review.
1. What is the treatment plan for epiphora related to trauma?
Correct answer: Initial assessment and urgent eye evaluation; manage the injury
and treat the cause.
Rationale: Epiphora after trauma may reflect corneal injury, a foreign body, or
drainage-system damage. Assess visual acuity, pain, photophobia, and injury
mechanism; urgent evaluation is needed. Do not patch or apply medication without
assessing for penetrating injury.
2. What are common physical exam findings in a patient with otitis media?
A. Clear nasal discharge
B. Dry skin lesions
C. Normal ear canal appearance
D. Bulging tympanic membrane
Correct answer: Bulging tympanic membrane
Rationale: Middle-ear fluid and inflammation impair normal tympanic-membrane
mobility and sound transmission. Reassess persistent symptoms and evaluate for
complications.
