Q

Assessing Deep Tendon Reflexes.

A

Reinforcement techniques - clinch teeth when testing arm reflexes, Interlock & tense hands (pull apart)
Do not overly test reflex
Grading scale: 4+ hyperactive, very brisk, clonus; 3+ more brisk than normal, but not indicative of disease; 2+ normal; 1+ decreased, less than normal; 0 absent

9
Q

locations of deep tendon reflexes

A

Biceps - Elbow flexes
Triceps- Elbow extends
Brachioradialis- Foreman flexes and supinates
Patellar- Knee extends
Achilles- Plantar flexion of foot
Ankle clonus - No rapid oscillations (clonus) with brisk dorsi-flexion of foot

10
Q

What is the best method for testing strength?

A

Pulling and pushing against resistance

5/5 normal

10
Q

What could cause atrophy in only one extremity?

A

stroke

11
Q

How do you assess the Thyroid?

A

Have pt swallow, can be tested anteriorly or posteriorly (have thumbs on)

11
Q

What does a normal T.M. look like?

A

Gray and pearly
If its clear then – fluid
If its red then – infection

12
Q

What is the proper technique for using the otoscope in children and in adults.

A

Children – pull down and back

Adult – pull up and back

12
Q

How do you perform the Weber Test and the Rhinne Test?

A

Weber equally heard bilaterally, Rhinne air conduction is louder than bone

13
Q

How do you assess for accommodation?

A

Have object move in closer and eyes should cross

13
Q

How do you assess the sinus

A

Frontal – above eyebrows; Maxiallary – cheeks; Ethmoid – beside eyes; palpate and percus all

14
Q

what is the purpose of assessing the sinuses?

A

looking for tenderness or fullness on palpation suggests infection

14
Q

What are abnormal assessment finding you may find when assess the lymph nodes?

A

If swollen then strep throat

15
