Low set ear(Usually in down syndrome)
c. No movement of the eardrum
d. Foreign body
Steps of the neurological examination - Answer>>> mental status/speech
sensation
cranial nerves
motor symmetry/cerebellar function
reflexes
spastic hemiparesis - Answer>>> Arm is immobile against the body, with flexion of the
shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers and adduction of shoulder; does not swing freely. Leg is stiff
and extended and circumducts with each step (drags toe in a semicircle).
1. cerebellar ataxia - Answer>>> staggering, wide-based gait; difficulty with turns; uncoordinated
movement with positive Romberg sign
2. parkinsonism (festinating) - Answer>>> Stooped posture; trunk pitched forward; elbows, hips, &
knees flexed. Steps short and shuffling. Hesitation to begin walking & difficulty stopping
suddenly. Holds body rigid. Walks and turns body as one fixed unit. Difficulty with any change
in direction
3. scissors gait - Answer>>> knees cross or are in contact, like holding an orange between the
thighs. person uses short steps, and walking requires effort from:paraparesis of legs, multiple
sclerosis
4. steppage or footdrop - Answer>>> slapping quality-looks as if walking up stairs and finds no
stair there. lifts knee and foot high and slaps it down hard and flat to compensate for footdrop.
5. configuration and distribution of skin lesions - Answer>>> is it solitary or in a pattern in
relation to other lesions
6. annular skin lesion - Answer>>> rings with central clearing
,7. target/iris/ bullseye lesions - Answer>>> central lesion surrounded by pale red rings
8. macule - Answer>>> flat, colored spot on the skin (freckle or patechaei)
9. papule - Answer>>> an elevated, palpable, firm, circumscribed area generally less than 5
mm in diameter
ex. warts
10. nodule - Answer>>> an elevated, firm, circumscribed, and palpable area greater than 5 mm
in diameter; can involve all skin layers
large nodule-tumor
11. cyst skin lesion - Answer>>> an elevated, circumscribed area of the skin filled with liquid or
semisolid fluid
12. Braden Scale - Answer>>> used to assess for risk of skin breakdown
sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, friction and shear
Score of 23 - no risk for skin breakdown
Lower the score, the higher the risk for breakdown
Very high risk - total score 9 or less
13. petechiae - Answer>>> pinpoint purple or red spots from minute hemorrhages under the skin
14. cherry angioma (vascular lesion) - Answer>>> clusters of dilated capillaries on the surface of
the skin, which accounts for the cherry-red or purple color.
15. port-wine stain - Answer>>> a flat vascular birthmark made up of dilated blood capillaries,
creating a large, reddish-purple discoloration on the face or neck
16. Excoriation - Answer>>> Skin sore or abrasion produced by scratching or scraping
ex. atopic dermatitis
17. ulcer - Answer>>> Irregularly shaped, exudative, depressed lesion in which entire epidermis
and all or part of the dermis are lost
, 18. scar - Answer>>> A mark on the skin that is left after a cut or other wound has healed.
19. 3 stages of wound healing - Answer>>> inflammatory, proliferative, remodeling
20. what to assess for in hair assessment - Answer>>> Color
Texture
Distribution
Lesions
21. what to assess for with nail assessment - Answer>>> shape and contour
consistency
capillary refill
22. spoon nails - Answer>>> iron deficiency
23. clubbing of nails - Answer>>> deformity of fingers and fingernails associated with
underlying medical conditions or diseases that cause the finger tissue to
increase and nails to curve downward
24. Splinter hemorrhages in fingernails - Answer>>> red brown linear streaks
25. common variations of skin assessment in the geriatric population - Answer>>> Loss of
elasticity - folds, sags, parchment thin, looks dry and wrinkled
Senile purpura - minor trauma to fragile skin producing red discolored areas
Hair - decreased number of functioning melanocytes - gray or white, fine and thin
Nails - grow slowly
Senile Lentigines - liver spots
