FNP-652 Quiz 1 Exam 2026 Questions
and Answers Graded A+
Hearing Loss in the elderly - Correct answer-Conductive- usually caused by
problems in the external or middle ear that interfere with transmitting sound and its
conversion to mechanical vibrations (IE Cerumen impaction, perforated
membrane)
Sensoineural- involves problems converting mechanical vibrations to electrical
potential in the cochlea and/or in auditory nerve transmission to the brain. It is
usually caused by permanent damage in the organ of Corti. (Age related hearing
loss; noise trauma)
Hearing Loss in the elderly - Correct answer-Affects 60-80% of 70 yr +. Start with
Whisper and Rinne tests. Refer patients for Adiometric testing if there is no
obvious occlusion.
Differential Diagnoses: Cerumen impaction, foreign object, tumors.

, Vision Screening in <1 year old - Correct answer-As part of each well-child visit,
eye health, vision development, and alignment of the eyes should be checked.
Findings that merit watchful waiting: Chemical conjunctivitis in neonates
Referral considering age of patient: Eye alignment, not making eye contact
Tympanogram results - Correct answer-Tympanometry measures the capacity of
the middle ear to transfer sound energy.
What do they indicate:
Type A: Normal Tympanogram is shaped like a tent
Type B: Abnormal; needs medical attention (flat)
Type C: Almost normal but not right (may be too peaked);refers to a middle ear
with negative pressure. A child with this type of tympanogram should be monitored
and may need medical attention. Such a tympanogram may be caused by retraction
of the eardrum or blockage of the Eustachian tube.
