Review Questions
Self-Reflection Imagine that, during your physical exam with Tina, you had palpated an enlarged left
supraclavicular lymph node. What would this finding have indicated?

lymph node, also known as Virchow's node.

A serious pathology (Correct Response)
A previous infection of the throat
An active infection of the throat
If you had observed Arteriovenous (AV) nicking during the retinal exam on Tina, what
would you have seen?
Correct: AV nicking is the compression of the vein at arteriovenous crossings due to arterial stiffening. This
results in bulging of the vein on either side of the artery making the vein appear to stop on either side of the artery.
AV nicking is usually a result of chronic hypertension.

Opaque arterial walls
