APEA- EENT Assessment
A 30-year-old patient presents with a moderate "aching" in his right eye. Findings reveal a small
and irregular shaped right pupil. The cornea appears cloudy with a slight erythematous area
around the corneal limbus. There is no ocular discharge noted. These findings are consistent
with:
acute iritis.
corneal injury.
corneal infection.
acute angle closure glaucoma. - ANS -acute iritis.
\A 40-year-old male was umpiring a little league baseball game when he was hit in the face with
flying debris. He presents with decreased vision and severe pain in the left eye. Findings reveal
watery, left ocular discharge. The pupils are normal in appearance and the cornea is slightly
cloudy with areas of corneal erythema. These findings are most consistent with:
acute iritis.
corneal injury.
corneal infection.
acute angle closure glaucoma. - ANS -corneal injury.
\A 50- year-old patient complains of being unable to read the hymnal at church. This describes:
hyperopia.
myopia.
presbyopia.
astigmatism. - ANS -presbyopia.
\A 57-year-old man with a history of diabetes complains of difficulty hearing on the telephone
and muffled sounds while watching the television at a low volume. He should be further
evaluated for:
acoustic neuroma.
granulomatous disease.
cholesteatoma.
presbycusis. - ANS -presbycusis.
\A 60- year-old patient presents with severe, deep left eye pain. Findings reveal dilated and
fixed left pupil and the cornea is cloudy. There is no ocular discharge noted. These findings are
most likely consistent with:
acute iritis.
corneal injury.
corneal infection.
acute angle closure glaucoma. - ANS -acute angle closure glaucoma.
\A 60-year-old was concerned about a yellowish colored lesion above her right eyelid. Findings
revealed a slightly raised yellowish, well circumscribed plaque along the nasal area of her right
eyelid. This finding is most consistent with:
a pinguecula.
, a chalazion.
episcleritis.
xanthelasma. - ANS -xanthelasma.
\A condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other is termed:
hyperopia.
myopia.
strabismus.
astigmatism. - ANS -strabismus.
\A condition of the sclera that appears as localized ocular inflammation of the episcleral vessels
is most likely:
scleroderma.
episcleritis.
conjunctivitis.
pinguecula. - ANS -episcleritis.
\A condition that involves optic nerve damage and visual field changes is termed:
retinoblastoma.
cataracts.
glaucoma.
pterygium. - ANS -glaucoma.
\A cyclist sustained an avulsion of the upper central incisor. If he is unable to position the tooth
in the socket until he is able to be seen by a dentist, he should:
transport the tooth in a cup of lukewarm tap water.
place the tooth between the molars and the inside of the cheek.
rinse the tooth and transport it in a clean dry cloth.
not rinse the tooth but transport it in a clean dry cloth. - ANS -place the tooth between the
molars and the inside of the cheek.
\A deviated uvula without swelling may be suggestive of a:
vagus nerve lesion.
peritonsillar abscess.
a person who smokes cigarettes.
a normal finding in the elderly population. - ANS -vagus nerve lesion.
\A fine rhythmic oscillation of the eyes is termed:
presbyopia.
nystagmus.
strabismus.
proptosis. - ANS -nystagmus.
\A forty-five-year-old female complains of frequent attacks of dizziness accompanied by a sense
of fullness in the right ear, headache, nausea, reduced hearing in the right ear. This patient may
need further workup for:
otosclerosis.
Meniere's disease.
Paget's disease.
mastoiditis. - ANS -Meniere's disease.
\A localized Staphylococcal infection of the hair follicles at the lid margin is suggestive of:
