The nurse is assessing a patients eyes for the accommodation response and would expect to see which normal finding?

• Dilation of the pupils
• Consensual light reflex
• Conjugate movement of the eyes
• Convergence of the axes of the eyes
• Convergence of the axes of the eyes

A 2-week-old infant can fixate on an object but cannot follow a light or bright toy.

The nurse would:

• Consider this a normal finding.
• Assess the pupillary light reflex for possible blindness.
• Continue with the examination, and assess visual fields.
• Expect that a 2-week-old infant should be able to fixate and follow an object.
• Consider this a normal finding

By 2 to 4 weeks an infant can fixate on an object. By the age of 1 month, the infant should fixate and follow a bright light or toy.The nurse is performing an eye-screening clinic at a daycare center. When examining a 2-year-old child, the nurse suspects that the child has a lazy eye and

should:

• Examine the external structures of the eye.
• Assess visual acuity with the Snellen eye chart.
• Assess the childs visual fields with the confrontation test.
• Test for strabismus by performing the corneal light reflex test.
• Test for strabismus by performing the corneal light reflex test.

Testing for strabismus is done by performing the corneal light reflex test and the 1 / 4

pg. 2 cover test. The Snellen eye chart and confrontation test are not used to test for strabismus.

The nurse is performing an eye assessment on an 80-year-old patient. Which of these findings is considered abnormal?

• Decrease in tear production
• Unequal pupillary constriction in response to light
• Presence of arcus senilis observed around the cornea
• Loss of the outer hair on the eyebrows attributable to a decrease in hair follicles
• Unequal pupillary constriction in response to light

The nurse notices the presence of periorbital edema when performing an eye

assessment on a 70-year-old patient. The nurse should:

• Check for the presence of exophthalmos.
• Suspect that the patient has hyperthyroidism.
• Ask the patient if he or she has a history of heart failure.
• Assess for blepharitis, which is often associated with periorbital edema.
• Ask the patient if he or she has a history of heart failure.

A 68-year-old woman is in the eye clinic for a checkup. She tells the nurse that she has been having trouble reading the paper, sewing, and even seeing the faces of her grandchildren. On examination, the nurse notes that she has some loss of central vision but her peripheral vision is normal. These findings suggest that she may

have:

• Macular degeneration.
• Vision that is normal for someone her age.
• The beginning stages of cataract formation.
• Increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma.
• Macular degeneration.

Macular degeneration is the most common cause of blindness. It is characterized by the loss of central vision. Cataracts would show lens opacity. Chronic open- angle glaucoma, the most common type of glaucoma, involves a gradual loss of peripheral vision. These findings are not consistent with vision that is considered normal at any age. 2 / 4

pg. 3

During an examination, a patient states that she was diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma 2 years ago. The nurse assesses for characteristics of open-angle glaucoma. Which of these are characteristics of open-angle glaucoma? Select all that apply.

• Patient may experience sensitivity to light, nausea, and halos around lights.
• Patient experiences tunnel vision in the late stages.
• Immediate treatment is needed.
• Vision loss begins with peripheral vision.
• Open-angle glaucoma causes sudden attacks of increased pressure that cause

blurred vision.

• Virtually no symptoms are exhibited.
• Patient experiences tunnel vision in the late stages.
• Vision loss begins with peripheral vision.
• Virtually no symptoms are exhibited.

Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma; virtually no symptoms are exhibited. Vision loss begins with the peripheral vision, which often goes unnoticed because individuals learn to compensate intuitively by turning their heads. The other characteristics are those of closed-angle glaucoma.The nurse is reviewing the function of the cranial nerves (CNs). Which CN is responsible for conducting nerve impulses to the brain from the organ of Corti?

• I
• III
• VIII
• XI
• VIII

The nerve impulses are conducted by the auditory portion of CN VIII to the brain.

The nurse is assessing a patient who may have hearing loss. Which of these statements is true concerning air conduction?

• Air conduction is the normal pathway for hearing.
• Vibrations of the bones in the skull cause air conduction.
• Amplitude of sound determines the pitch that is heard.
• Loss of air conduction is called a conductive hearing loss. 3 / 4

pg. 4

• Air conduction is the normal pathway for hearing.

A patient has been shown to have a sensorineural hearing loss. During the

assessment, it would be important for the nurse to:

• Speak loudly so the patient can hear the questions.
• Assess for middle ear infection as a possible cause.
• Ask the patient what medications he is currently taking.
• Look for the source of the obstruction in the external ear.
• Ask the patient what medications he is currently taking.

A simple increase in amplitude may not enable the person to understand spoken words. Sensorineural hearing loss may be caused by presbycusis, which is a gradual nerve degeneration that occurs with aging and by ototoxic drugs, which affect the hair cells in the cochlea.The nurse is conducting a visual examination. Which of these statements regarding visual pathways and visual fields is true?

• The right side of the brain interprets the vision for the right eye.
• The image formed on the retina is upside down and reversed from its actual

appearance in the outside world.

• Light rays are refracted through the transparent media of the eye before striking

the pupil.

• Light impulses are conducted through the optic nerve to the temporal lobes of

the brain.

• The image formed on the retina is upside down and reversed from its actual

appearance in the outside world.The nurse is testing a patients visual accommodation, which refers to which action?

• Pupillary constriction when looking at a near object
• Pupillary dilation when looking at a far object
• Changes in peripheral vision in response to light
• Involuntary blinking in the presence of bright light
• Pupillary constriction when looking at a near object

A patient has a normal pupillary light reflex. The nurse recognizes that this reflex

indicates that:

• The eyes converge to focus on the light.
