NUR 3306 FINAL STUDY GUIDE QUIZZES 5-11 COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GUARANTEED PASS | RATED A+
1. When testing for accommodation, what reaction would you expect to see? - Answer>>>
CorrectD.
Pupils converge and constrict
Response Feedback:
You test for accommodation by asking the patient to focus on an object (finger or pen, for
example) as you move it towards the patient's nose. You would expect the pupils to constrict and
for eyes to cross (convergence).
2. A nurse is admitting a client to the hospital. When reviewing the client's medical record, the
nurse notes that this client had abnormal findings during the Weber test. What would the nurse
know this means? - Answer>>> CorrectD.
The client has unilateral hearing loss
Response Feedback:
The whisper test evaluates loss of high-frequency sounds. The Weber test helps to differentiate
the cause of unilateral hearing loss. In the Rinne test, use of a tuning fork helps the nurse
determine if hearing is equal in both ears and if there is either a conductive or a sensorineural
hearing loss by allowing the nurse to compare the difference in bone conduction (BC) versus air
conduction (AC). Remember AC has less resistance than BC. Option D is a distracter for this
question.
3. A mother brings her 2-year-old child to the clinic stating that the child is cross-eyed. What test
would the nurse perform to test for strabismus? - Answer>>> CorrectB.
Corneal light reflex
Response Feedback:
The corneal light reflex tests for strabismus. The cover test is for presence and amount of ocular
deviation. A low light level with no direct light sources shining in the patient's eyes is ideal. At
rest, the extraocular muscles have very little activity. The assessment referred to as cardinal
fields of gaze allows nurses to detect muscle defects that cause misalignment or uncoordinated
eye movements. The static test can help the nurse detect gross differences in all four quadrants of
the visual field. The Allen test tests a toddler's visual acuity.
4. What components of sound does the cochlea interpret? (Select all that apply.) - Answer>>>
Answers:
CorrectA.
Frequency
CorrectB.
Amplitude
Response Feedback:
The cochlea interprets two components of sound: amplitude (volume) and frequency (pitch). The
cochlea does not interpret tone, direction, or decibel.
