23
Q

Auscultatory gap

A

a silent interval that may be present between systolic and diastolic

24
Q

Orthostatic hypotension

A

drop in systolic pressure of more than 20mmHg and/or pulse increase of 20 bpm

25
Q

Diplopia

A

double vision

26
Q

Presbyopia

A

difficulty reading beginning in 40’s

not due to eye size, but to the lenses’ ability to accommodate

27
Q

Myopia

A

nearsighted

eye is too long relative to the refracting power

28
Q

Hyperopia

A

farsighted

eye is too short relative to the refracting power

29
Q

Bulbar conjunctiva

A

clear membrane of eye

covers the outer surface of the eye

30
Q

Palpebral conjunctiva

A

clear membrane that coats inside of eyelids
looks pink, but really is clear
if anemic, may be pale
if infected, may look red

31
Q

Meiosis of the pupil

A

very constricted
smaller than 3mm
infection of the iris, narcotic use, or paralysis of sympathetic nerves

32
Q

Mydriasis of pupil

A

abnormal dilation of the pupils

could be result of intracranial pressure

33
Q

Anisocoria

A

unequal pupils

could be congenital and normal, or could be abnormal

34
Q

Papilledema

A

inflammation of the optic disc from increased intracranial pressure
not intraoptical pressure
cloudy optic disc, no pulsations
emergency
