Question 1
pts
According to the Bates’ Visual Guide video 8.8 Examining the Neck, visual inspection of the neck may
reveal enlargement of which gland?
Pituitary gland
Thymus gland
Sublingual glandect!
Parotid gland
Visual inspection of the head and neck may reveal enlargement of the parotid gland. Bimanual
palpation is useful in differentiating submandibular salivary gland swellings from enlarged
submandibular lymph nodes. Parotid neoplasm is observed as a diffuse swelling in front of the ear or
over the angle of the jaw, often lifting the ear lobule.
Question 2
1. pts
According to the Bates’ Visual Guide video 8.8 Examining the Neck, which of the following findings
should be noted while assessing lymph nodes? (Select all that apply)
Correct!
Size
Shape
Tenderness
Delimitation
When assessing lymph nodes, note the size, shape, number, pliability, texture, limitation and
delimitation, and tenderness of nodes bilaterally.
Question 3
pts
According to the Bates’ Visual Guide video 7.5 Examining the Eyes, when using the Snellen eye
chart, the patient’s visual acuity is printed to the right of each line of letters on the chart as a fraction
(numerator/denominator). What does the numerator indicate?
Peripheral vision
Confrontation distance
The testing distancewered
The distance at which a person with normal eyesight can read the letters on the chart
Visual acuity is recorded as a fraction. The numerator indicates the distance (in feet) from the chart
which the subject can read the line. The denominator indicates the distance at which a normal eye
can read the line. Normal vision is 20/20.
