Real Exam Prep
1. A patient had a CVA. What type of blindness is the patient most likely to incur
Right eye blindness
Left eye blindness
Bilateral left visual field blindness
Bilateral right visual field blindness
2. A CVA in the right posterior cerebral artery can cause
L. homonymous hemianopsia
Bipolar hemianopia
R. Nasal hemianopia
Total blindness in the right eye
3. The patient reported being blind in his right visual field. However, it was
demonstrated that he could still detect very basic visual information, such as
the presence of a stimulus or motion, in that 'blind' visual field. Which part of
his visual system is most likely damaged?
The retina in his left eye
Visual cortical areas in the left hemisphere
Magnocellular LGN cells
The superior colliculus, which is part of the 'older' visual system
Area MT
4. The optic chiasm is the point at which the optic nerves converge behind the
, eyes. Which of the following best describes how information is relayed past
the optic chiasm?
Information from neither sides of the retina crosses over.
Information from both sides of the retina crosses over.
Information from the temporal side of the retina crosses over.
Information from the nasal side of the retina crosses over.
5. If an elderly patient presents with difficulty seeing in low light conditions,
which condition might you suspect and why?
Color blindness, since it affects all light conditions equally.
Cataracts, as they can cause clouding of the lens affecting night
vision.
Glaucoma, because it primarily affects peripheral vision.
Macular degeneration, which does not impact low light vision.
6. If a patient presents with strabismus and blurred vision, which cranial nerve
might be implicated in the condition, and what would be its role?
The trochlear nerve (Cranial Nerve IV) is likely implicated, as it
controls the superior oblique muscle.
The abducens nerve (Cranial Nerve VI) is likely implicated, as it
controls lateral eye movement.
The optic nerve (Cranial Nerve II) is likely implicated, as it transmits
visual information.
The oculomotor nerve (Cranial Nerve III) is likely implicated, as it
controls most eye movements and the ability to maintain proper
alignment.
7. The olfactory pathway follows which route for the conscious perception of
odors?
, olfactory sensory neurons, olfactory nerves, olfactory bulbs,
olfactory tracts, olfactory cortex
olfactory bulbs, olfactory tracts, olfactory sensory neurons, olfactory
nerves, olfactory cortex
olfactory sensory neurons, olfactory tract, olfactory bulbs, lateral
geniculate nucleus, olfactory cortex
olfactory sensory neurons, olfactory nerves, olfactory bulbs, olfactory
tracts, thalamus, olfactory cortex
8. What is the first structure that sound waves encounter in the hearing
pathway?
auditory nerve
cochlea
outer ear
ossicles
9. Formation of a bolus occurs in the:
stomach
small intestine
mouth
large intestine
10. If the sclera were to become damaged, what potential impact could this
have on vision?
It would enhance the clarity of vision.
It would have no effect on vision.
It would improve the eye's ability to focus light.
, It could lead to structural instability and vision problems.
11. A 65-year-old client asks the nurse why his vision is not as sharp as it once
was. What is the nurse's best response?
"Older adults are more prone to eye infections."
"It is not unusual for older clients to have dry eyes."
"The lenses in an older adult's eyes accommodate more slowly."
"Vision in older adults gradually worsens with age."
12. Your patient states that his/her central vision is blurry. this could indicate
your patient has _ _.
nystagmus
myopia
a detached retina
macular degeneration
13. Put the following in the correct order for the olfactory pathway: 1. olfactory
nerve 2. olfactory bulb 3. olfactory area of the temporal lobe 4. olfactory
tract
1, 2, 4, 3
4, 3, 1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4
2, 1, 4, 3
14. Blindness in one half of both visual fields following a CVA is referred to as:
Homonymous hemignosia
Homonymous Hemianopia
