1. nephrosis: HEP-hypertension, edema, proteinuria; chronic kidney failure, all
casts
2. Chief Complaint, Present Illness, Family, Occupational, Social, ROS: case
history data
3. There are 6 (BP, Temp, Pulse, Resp, Ht, Wt): How many vital signs are there for
a patient?
4. present illness: OPQRST is asked for what?
5. ROS (review of systems): best place to get information about unrelated prob-
lems is the:
6. bacterial: what type of infection has sustained high temperature
7. viral: what type of infection has temperature spikes, fever, chills
8. 110-140: range of normal systole
9. orthostatic hypotension: Decrease in blood pressure related to positional or
postural changes from lying to sitting or standing positions
10. 60-90: range of normal diastole
11. 30-40: What is the normal pulse pressure?
12. icterus: jaundice of the eyes
13. cataracts: absent red light reflex, lens opacity
14. retinal detachment: two layers of the retina separate from each other (usually
caused by trauma)
15. papilledema: intracranial pressure is a sign of this
16. glaucoma: intraocular pressure is a sign of this
17. arcus senilis: a narrow opaque band encircling the cornea, common in old age

18. Corneal arcus: grayish opaque ring around the cornea Significant under age
30.
19. diabetic retinopathy: waxy exudates, microaneurysms on eye exam
20. hypertension: cotton wool spots, copper wiring on eye exam;
auscultatory gap may indicate this while listening over an artery during deflation of
the blood pressure cuff.
21. MS and migraines: Scintillating scotomas (neuro/vascular)
22. Drusen, Coloboma: normal background anomalies
23. acute rhinitis: red nose
24. allergies, chronic itis: pale/gray/blue nose
25. foreign object: foul discharge from nose
26. CSF, viral infection: clear discharge from nose
27. cerumen,infections,otosclerosis: causes of conduction hearing loss
28. presbycusis, neuroma: causes of sensorineural hearing loss
