lens protein causd by aging
Cataract symptoms - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- cloudy or blurry vision, faded
colors, halo around lights, poor night vision
Glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- a group of eye diseases characterized by
increased intraocular pressure
,2|Page
open angle glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- most common form of
glaucoma that results from degenerative changes that affects a gradual loss of
peripheral vision
closed angle glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- the opening between the
cornea and iris narrows so that fluid cannot reach the trabecular meshwork
Drusen bodies - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- appear as small, discrete spots that are
more yellow than the retina
Drusen bodies increases the risk of - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- Age-related
macular degeneration
Changes in the ear in older adults - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- 2/3 adults have
>70 have some level of hearing loss
conductive hearing loss
sensorineural hearing
cartilage formation continues, making the auricle larger
Inspection of external ear - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- assess auricles for size and
shape, color
cyanosis
cauliflower ear (blunt trauma)
pallor or redness (frostbite)
tophi (small white uric acid crystals)
sebaceous cyst is a blocked gland
,3|Page
Palpation of external ear - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- should be firm, mobile,
without nodules
no pain present when gently pulled
How to use otoscope - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- 1. have client sit with back
straight and head tilted slightly away from you towards opposite shoulder
2. Choose largest speculum that fits comfortably in ear, normally 5mm in adults,
attach to otoscope, hold in dominant hand and turn it on
3. Use thumb and fingers of opposite hand to Grasp the client's auricle. Pull out, up
and back to straight the EAC. Don't alter this position during exam.
4. Grasp hand of otoscope between thumb and fingers and hold instrument up or
down.
5. Position hand holding otoscope against clients head or face. Position prevents
force full insertion of otoscope and steadies your hand.
6. Insert the speculum gently down and forward into ear canal (approximately 0.5
inches). As you insert otoscope, be careful not to touch either side of inner portion
of the canal wall. This area is sensitive.
7. Move head closer to otoscope and look through lens.
Hearing is what cranial nerve? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- VIII

How is the confrontation test performed? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- Have client
positioned 2 feet away, have them cover the left eye while you cover your right eye

ectropion - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- outward turning of the rim of the eyelid
entropion - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- inward turning of the rim of the eyelid
blepharitis - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- inflammation of the glands and eyelash
follicles along the margin of the eyelids
Corneal sensitivity tests what cranial nerves? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- V &
VII
Older adult eye changes - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- decreased tear production
