mitotic pupil

35
Q

pupil > 6mm in diameter

A

mydriatic pupil

36
Q

if CN III (oculomotor) is not functioning, the pupil will

A

dilate

37
Q

when a patient is asked to look at a distant object, the pupil’s

A

widen (get far)

38
Q

when a pencil is placed 4-6” from patients eye and is told to focus upon it, what should happen

A

eyes converge

pupils constrict

lens thicken (should ask them to read pencil)

39
Q

having a patient look a far, then suddenly focus upon a close object is called

A

testing for accommodation

40
Q

what reflex is tested in ascessing for abnormal pupillary responses

A

pupillary light reflex

41

direct

consensual

46
Q

case: R direct PLR is not responsive. L direct and L consenual are responsive. What is status of R consensual response and where is lesion?

A

R consensual is not resposive, R III
