Conjuctiva - CORRECT ANSWERS -clear mucous membrane consisting of cells and
underlying basement membrane that covers the sclera (white part of the eye) and lines
the inside of the eyelids. Protects eyes from foreign bodies.
Lacrimal gland - CORRECT ANSWERS -secretes tears
Rectus extraocular muscle moves eye ______&______ - CORRECT ANSWERS -up &
down
Oblique extraocular muscle moves eye ______&______ - CORRECT ANSWERS -side
to side & lateral
Exudate - CORRECT ANSWERS -drainage, pus
Strabismus - CORRECT ANSWERS -condition in which the eyes are not properly
aligned with each other, cross-eyed
Diplopia - CORRECT ANSWERS -double vision
Visual Acuity test: Distance - CORRECT ANSWERS -Use Snellen Chart. Person stands
20 ft away , reads chart to smallest line able to read completely. Record result using
numeric fraction: numerator is distance person standing from chart, denominator is
distance at which a normal eye could have read that particular line. Variations used for
those who cannot read (E chart, Allen chart using symbols)
Visual Acuity test: near vision - CORRECT ANSWERS -Similar to Snellen except use a
Jaeger card, hold 14 inches from eye.
Presbyopia - CORRECT ANSWERS -health condition where the eye exhibits a
progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects with age
Color vision test - CORRECT ANSWERS -use Ishihara plates
Confrontation test - CORRECT ANSWERS -measure peripheral vision, compares
clients peripheral vision with your own. Cover opposite eye (clients left, your right),
move object inward from peripheral from 2 ft away, have client tell you when they can
see the object.
, Corneal Light reflex - CORRECT ANSWERS -Reflections of light noted at same location
on both eyes
Cover test - CORRECT ANSWERS -Uncovered eye does not move when opposite eye
is covered. Covered eye does not move as cover is removed.
Six cardinal positions of gaze - CORRECT ANSWERS -Elicits any muscle weakness
during movement. Have client follow finger using only eyes.
PERRLA - CORRECT ANSWERS -Pupils Equal Round Reactive to Light &
Accommodation. Normal pupil size 3-5mm. Accommodation: proper focusing, Pupils
converge and constrict as object moves toward the nose; pupil responses are uniform.
Pupillary Light Reflex - CORRECT ANSWERS -Normal response is constriction of
same-sided pupils (direct) and simultaneous constriction of the other pupil (consensual)
when light is advanced across pupil.
Red reflex - CORRECT ANSWERS -Red glow filling the person's pupil caused by
reflection of opthalmoscope light off inner retina.
Only place where you can view blood vessels directly - CORRECT ANSWERS -Retinal
vessels
Tortuosity - CORRECT ANSWERS -normal blood vessel twisting as seen in retinal
vessels, normal.
Salivary glands - CORRECT ANSWERS -Parotid, submandibular, sublingual
Dysphagia - CORRECT ANSWERS -difficulty swallowing
Percussion: Resonant - CORRECT ANSWERS -Low pitched, hollow sounds. Air and
tissue. example: lung fields
Percussion: Hyperresonant - CORRECT ANSWERS -Louder and lower pitched than
resonant sounds. Mostly air. example: COPD
Percussion: Tympany - CORRECT ANSWERS -Hollow, high, drumlike sounds. Fluid
and air. Normally heard over stomach. If heard over lungs, indication of large
pneumothroax.
Percussion: Dull - CORRECT ANSWERS -normally heard over dense areas such as
the heart or liver
Percussion: Flat - CORRECT ANSWERS -Heard over bones
Sebaceous gland - CORRECT ANSWERS -microscopic glands in the skin which
secrete an oily/waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate the skin and hair
