JSMBS CPM: Eye Exam
Which best describes "papilledema"?
- Cupping of the optic disc with disappearance of blood vessels at the disc margins,
usually caused by increased intraocular pressure
- Lens opacities, usually age-related
- Yellowish exudates on the retina caused by infarction of the nerve layer of the nerve
layer of the retina
- Loss of definition of the disc margins, and dilated retinal veins, caused by increased
intracranial pressure - ANS-Loss of definition of the disc margins, and dilated retinal
veins, caused by increased intracranial pressure
In the normal situation, what should happen to the left pupil when a light is shined in the
right pupil?
- It should dilate
- It should constrict
- It should remain unchanged
- It should become lighter in color - ANS-It should constrict
You are examining the retinas of a 55 year-old obese male. You notice dot hemorrhages
and cotton wool spots. These findings are most likely related to which condition?
- Glaucoma
- Diabetes
- Conjunctivitis
- Macular degeneration - ANS-Diabetes
, What is tested for with the "cover/uncover" test?
- Pupilary reaction to light
- Visual acuity
- Peripheral vision
- Strabismus - ANS-Strabismus
What is tested by the "confrontation" test?
- Pupulary reaction to light
- Visual acuity
- Peripheral vision
- The ability to see during an argument - ANS-Peripheral vision
A patient reports the following; "I was having a coughing fit from my asthma. After the
coughing fit, I looked in the mirror and my eye was red. There is no pain and my vision
is fine". On your exam, you note that the left sclera, from about the 3 to 6 -o'clock
position, is blood- red. This area is fairly well demarcated, and stops at the margin of the
iris. Otherwise, the eye is normal. This is most likely:
- Acute bacterial conjunctivitis
- Glaucoma
- Subconjunctival hemmorhage
- Pterygium - ANS-Subconjunctival hemmorhage
What does "20/200" vision mean?
- The patient is only able to read at 20 feet what the average person can read at 200
feet
- The patient is able read at 200 feet what the average person can only read at 20 feet
