When an otoscopic examination is performed on an older adult patient, the tympanic
membrane may be:
a. pinker than that of a younger adult.
b. thinner than that of a younger adult.
c. whiter than that of a younger adult.
d. more mobile than that of a younger adult.

, C (During otoscopy, the tympanic membrane of an older adult may be
whiter in color than that of a younger adult. The tympanic membrane may
also appear more opaque and dull. A yellow-amber eardrum color occurs
with otitis media with effusion. A red color occurs with acute otitis media.
The tympanic membrane of an older adult may be thicker compared with
that of a younger adult. Hypomobility is an early sign of acute otitis media.)
The position of the tympanic membrane in the neonate is more __, making it more
difficult to visualize with the otoscope.
a. horizontal
b. vertical
c. perpendicular
d. oblique
Give this one a try later!
A (The position of the eardrum is more horizontal in the neonate, making it
more difficult to see completely and harder to differentiate from the canal
wall. By 1 month of age, the eardrum is in the oblique position similar to an
older child, and examination is easier.)
The loss of bone density due to reposition occurring more rapidly than deposition is
known as:
a. osteoporosis
b. arthritis
c. aging
d. calcium deficiency

You are assessing the motor component of a patient's Glasgow Coma Scale. They are
unable to obey commands but bend their elbow when their finger nail bed is
stimulated. What do you do next?
a. Record 'Normal Flexion'
b. Apply supraorbital notch pressure
c. Apply a trapezius Pinch
Give this one a try later!
C (If a patient bends their elbow when the finger is stimulated, the next
step in assessing the motor response is to test if they can localise to a
trapezius pinch.)
When entering a client's room to change a surgical dressing, a nurse notes that the
client is coughing and sneezing. Which of the following actions should the nurse take
when preparing the sterile field?
a. Keep the sterile field at least 6 ft away from the client's bedside.
b. Instruct the client to refrain from coughing and sneezing during the dressing
change.
c. Place a mask on the client to limit the spread of micro-organisms into the surgical
wound.
d. Keep a box of facial tissues nearby for the client to use during the dressing change.

, Which of the following are normal findings for a newborn? (Select all that apply).
a. Head size of 36 cm
b. Head size of 40 cm
c. The newborn's head is 2 cm larger than their chest circumference.
d. Asymmetric skull
e. Head size of 30 cm
f. The newborn's head is 4 cm larger than their chest circumference.
Give this one a try later!
A C (The average circumference of the head of a newborn is 32-38 cm and
it should be 2 cm larger than their chest circumference. Their head shape
should be symmetric, but some newborns have asymmetric skulls due to
birth trauma that does not require treatment and resolves during the first
few days of life.)
When taking the health history, the patient complains of pruritus. What is a common
cause of this symptom?
a. Excessive bruising
b. Hyperpigmentation
c. Melasma
d. Drug reactions
Give this one a try later!
D (Drug reactions can lead to pruritus, or itching)
The lens of the eye functions as a:
membrane may be:
