Response Feedback: The retina acts as the sensory network of the eye in that it sends electric impulses to the brain transformed from light. The cornea, iris, and pupil act together as an opening for light to pass through the lens.
Question 3

Cupping of the optic disc may be a result of:
Response Feedback: Cupping is seen with causes of increased intraocular pressure such as glaucoma. Migraine headaches, diabetes, and dehydration do not cause cupping of the optic disc. Diabetes results in cotton wool patches and hemorrhages.
Question 4

An abnormal growth of conjunctiva extending over the cornea from the limbus is known as:
Response Feedback: An abnormal growth of the conjunctiva that extends over the cornea is called a pterygium. Cataracts and glaucoma do not affect the conjunctiva. Erythematous means the area is red and irritated.
Question 5

When testing corneal sensitivity controlled by cranial nerve V, you should expect the patient to respond by:
Response Feedback: Brisk blinking is an expected response to corneal sensitivity testing, which involves gently touching the cornea with a piece of cotton.
Question 6
2 out of 2 points
The unit of measurement in describing lesion size and location on the fundus is the:
Response Feedback: When examining the eye and the fundus comes into focus, the branching of blood vessels becomes apparent. These always branch away from the optic disc and can be used as landmarks to locate the optic disc. The disc itself measures about 1.5 mm in diameter and is therefore the unit of measurement used to describe lesion size and location on the fundus.
Question 7

Which of the following is true regarding cephalhematoma?
Response Feedback: The condition is subperiosteal, under the bone, and is contained by the margins of the suture lines; it does not cross the suture line. It is often unnoticed at birth and typically feels firm with its edges well defined.

Question 10

Speech with a monotonous tone and erratic volume may indicate:
Response Feedback: Speech with a monotonous tone and erratic volume may indicate hearing loss. Although hearing may be affected in the other choices, they do not result in hearing loss.
Question 11
2 out of 2 points
The thyroid gland should:
Response Feedback: It is a normal finding for the thyroid gland to move with swallowing; however, being off center may indicate nodular growth or enlargement. The thyroid gland should not be slightly left of midline. Vascular sounds indicate hypermetabolic states such as hyperthyroidism, and a tug with each heartbeat is a sign of an aortic aneurysm.
Question 12
2 out of 2 points
A 30-year-old woman presents with rapid swelling beneath her jaw that suddenly appears while she is eating. The swelling is mildly painful but is not hot or red. You suspect Wharton salivary duct stones and proceed to palpate:
Response Feedback: The vast majority of such stones occur in the Wharton duct from the submaxillary gland, which can be palpated along each side of the frenulum under the tongue.

Question 14
2 out of 2 points
During initial ABCDE assessments of life-threatening conditions, D (disability) in neurologic status is assessed by the patient s:
Response Feedback: The D (disability) in neurologic status of the primary assessment is made by the determination of the patient s degree of responsiveness to stimuli.
Question 15

Which of the following is not a component of a management plan?
Question 16
2 out of 2 points
An infant s auditory canal, when compared with an adult s, is:
Response Feedback: Compared with the adult s, the infant s auditory canal is shorter and has an upward curve, which is the reason that pulling the pinna down straightens the canal.
Question 17
2 out of 2 points
Which of the following findings would be consistent with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)?
Response Feedback: With FAS, classic findings include poorly formed or flat philtrum, widespread eyes with inner epicanthal folds and mild ptosis, hirsute forehead, short nose, relatively thin upper lip, and small eye openings. Corneal clouding is seen with Hurler syndrome, eye slanting is seen in Down syndrome, and bulging fontanels are seen in hydrocephalus.
Question 18

You are performing hearing screening tests. Difficulty in hearing the highest frequencies would be expected in the ___ year old.
Question 19
2 out of 2 points
The use of computers in health care is:
Response Feedback: The computer is a useful tool in the clinical setting for documenting patient care and for retrieval of information. It cannot substitute for the clinician s critical thinking or for patient interactions. For some clinicians, computer use is a threatening skill and poses confidentiality issues.
Question 20
2 out of 2 points
A 6-month-old who can hear well can be expected to:
Response Feedback: Six-month-old infants turn their head toward the source of sound and they start babbling, but they begin imitating speech sounds closer to 10 months of age.
