Exam 2 Test Questions and Verified Answers (Graded A+)
Question 1.
anisocoria
Correct Answer: a condition in which the pupils are unequal in size
Question 2.
exophthalmos
Correct Answer: protrusion of the eyeballs, as seen in Graves disease
Question 3.
enophthalmos
Correct Answer: sunken eyes, eyeballs are recessed
Question 4.
ptosis
Correct Answer: prolapse, downward displacement, dropping
Question 5.
- Put in lower conjunctival sac - Do not drop in center of eye - Stabilize hands on facial
structures (bony prominences) - Hold the inner eye to avoid systemic effects (punctal
occlusion) - Do not let dropper touch their eye - Wash hands before
Correct Answer: Patient education for instilling eye drops
Question 6.
punctal occlusion
Correct Answer: Drainage of topical drops from the eye and their systemic
absorption can be prevented by _________ _________?
Question 7.
· Blurred vision · Clouded vision · Decreased color perception · May think that glasses
are smudged · Double vision · Halos around objects · Problems with ADL'S · Affects
reading and driving · Impaired night vision · Frequents changes in eyeglass prescription ·
Without surgical intervention blindness follows
Correct Answer: Signs and symptoms of cataracts
,Question 8.
· Wear dark glasses and avoid bright sunlight · Do not drive · Develop a schedule for the
administration of post-op eye drops. Be sure client or family can demonstrate the
correct technique for administering the drops. · Report Worsening Vision · Observe for
increasing eye redness · Decrease in vision · Floaters · Sharp, or sudden pain in eye ·
Green or yellow drainage on the lids and lashes
***avoid anything that increases IOP like... · Do no bend at the waist · Lift more than 10
pounds · Sneeze or cough · Blow your nose · Strain to move bowels · Have sexual
intercourse · Vomit · Keep head in a dependent position · Wear tight shirt collars
Correct Answer: Patient Education for post-op cataract surgery
Question 9.
glaucoma
Correct Answer: When the intraocular pressure increases it leads to
compression of the retinal blood vessels and photoreceptors and their nerve
fibers resulting in hypoxemia and death of the tissue and permanent loss of
vision
Question 10.
- Sudden severe pain around the eyes radiating over the face - Headache or brow pain -
Nausea and vomiting - Seeing colored halos around lights - Sudden blurred vision -
Reddened sclera - Foggy cornea - Moderately dilated pupil that does not react to light -
Cupping and atrophy of the optic disc
Correct Answer: Signs and symptoms of glaucoma
Question 11.
10 mm Hg - 21 mm Hg
Correct Answer: What is the normal intraocular range pressure?
Question 12.
reduce intraocular pressure
Correct Answer: What is the goal of treatment for glaucoma?
Question 13.
tonometry - measures IOP
ultrasonic imaging of the retina and optic nerve - creates a three-dimensional view of
the back of the eye; tells us the TYPE of glaucoma
Correct Answer: How do you test for glaucoma?
, Question 14.
corneal staining
Correct Answer: dye outlines irregularities of corneal surface (used for corneal
trauma, problems caused by contacts, or presence of foreign bodies,
abrasions, ulcers, or other corneal disorders).
Question 15.
Assess vital signs (specifically BP and P)
These drugs (like timolol) potentiate the effects of systemic beta blockers and can cause
an unsafe drop-in heart rate and blood pressure
Correct Answer: Before administering eye drops, what must the nurse assess
and why?
• Meniere's disease -✓✓Abnormal condition within the labyrinth of the inner
ear that can lead to a progressive loss of hearing. The symptoms are dizziness
or vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Patient should not drive Can be intermittent. Cause is unknown/genetic Can
be dangerous to patient (fall risk!)
***build-up of fluids
Question 16.
- Turn head slowly - Stop smoking - Reduce sodium intake (so less fluid
buildup/pressure) - Use medications as directed
Correct Answer: Patient education for Meniere's disease
Question 17.
monitor vital signs
Correct Answer: Post surgical care for tympanoplasty
Question 18.
Weber test
Correct Answer: The ________ test is performed by placing a vibrating tuning
fork on the middle of the patient's head and asking him or her to indicate in
which ear the sound is louder.
Question 19.
Sound heard equally in both ears
Correct Answer: What are normal results of the Weber test?
