,C) the optic disk
D) the physiologic cup
A
A light is pointed at a patient's pupil, which contracts. It is also

exposed to bright light. Which of the following terms describes
this latter phenomenon?

100 feet.
D) she can see at 100 feet what a normal person could see at

,On visual confrontation testing, a stroke patient is unable to
see your fingers on his entire right side with either eye
covered. Which of the following terms would describe this
finding?
A) bitemporal hemianopsia
B) right temporal hemianopsia
C) right homonymous hemianopsia

C
You note that a patient has anisocoria on examination.
Pathologic causes of this include which of the following?

A patient presents with ear pain. She is an avid swimmer. The
history includes pain and drainage from the left ear. On
examination, she has pain when the ear is manipulated,

rest of the examination is normal. What diagnosis would you
assign this patient?
A) otitis media
B) external otitis
C) perforation of the tympanum
D) cholesteatoma
B
A patient with hearing loss by whisper test is further examined
with a tuning fork, using the weber and rinne maneuvers. The
abnormal results are as follows: bone conduction is greater
than air on the left, and the patient hears the sound of the
tuning fork better on the left. Which of the following is most
likely?
A) otosclerosis of the left ear
B) exposure to chronic loud noise of the right ear
