ago, reveals a superficial grayish-white opacity in the right cornea. This may be
indicative of
a: corneal scar
o Gingival hyperplasia could be seen in all the following conditions except: in patients

, NSG 6020: EENT EXAM WITH SOLUTIONS
o Examination of the eye reveals a painful, erythematous, and tender area around the nose
and lower eyelid. This condition is most likely: dacryocystitis
o When examining pupillary equality, the left pupil is slightly greater than the right pupil.
This condition is termed: anisocoria

o The usual position of the trachea is located: in the middle of the anterior neck behind the
jugular notch of the manubrium

except: the presence of cerumen impaction
o One of the main differences between a migraine headache and tension headache is that:
migraine headaches have a rapid onset whereas, tension headaches appear gradually
