1 of 5
When preparing to examine a client's sclera and conjunctiva during an eye examination, the nurse should instruct the client to move both eyes to look in which direction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Looking up exposes the sclera and palpebral conjunctiva for thorough inspection. Downward gaze covers the scl longitudinal study era, and lateral movements stretch only parts of the conjunctiva.
Question 2 of 5
A patient is diagnosed with left ear unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. During the performance of the Weber test, the nurse expects lateralization of the sound/vibration to the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In sensorineural hearing loss, the Weber test lateralizes to the unaffected ear (right ear), which has better cochlear function. Conductive loss would lateralize to the affected ear, and equal lateralization suggests normal or symmetrical hearing.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse read the patient's health history and noted cranial nerve III oculomotor paralysis. Which of the following would the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Oculomotor nerve (III) paralysis causes ptosis (eyelid drooping) and absent pupillary constriction due to loss of levator palpebrae and iris muscle control. Lateral eye movement is controlled by cranial nerve VI, myopia is a refractive error, and normal movement is impossible.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse working in the eye doctor's office is completing an assessment on an elderly client. Which of the following would a nurse expect to assess in a client with esotropia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Esotropia is characterized by inward eye turning toward the nose, often due to muscle imbalance. Outward turning is exotropia, oscillating is nystagmus, and malalignment is a general term, not specific.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse educator is presenting at a continuing education seminar for nurses. As part of his presentation, he is emphasizing the prevention of skin breakdown in immobile patients who have suffered from a stroke. The level of prevention being discussed by the nurse educator is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tertiary prevention manages existing conditions like stroke to prevent complications such as skin breakdown through repositioning and skin care. Educational prevention isn’t a category, secondary involves early detection, and primary prevents stroke onset.
