Q

Older Adult Eye Exam Development

A
  • Skin loses elasticity causing drooping, fat tissues and muscles atrophy- atropine

  • lens discolors and thicken (cataract)
  • Floaters from vitreous humor debris
  • Arcus senilis: degeneration of lipid material around limbus

133
Q

EOMI

A

Extraocular muscles intact

134
Q

PERLA

A

pupils equal and reactive to light and accommodation

135
Q

Pulsation of Jugular Vein

A

abnormal if blood squirt is high in vein, short of breath, and edema present

136
Q

Neck Muscles

A
  • Sternomastoid and Trapezeus
  • Sternomastoid: move head in rotation and flexion
  • Trapezeus: moves shoulders and extends and turns heard-
  • inervated by CN 7
137
Q

Anterior Triangle

A

in front of sternomastoid

138
Q

posterior trianlge

A

between sternomastoid and trapezeus

139
Q

Lymph nodes in head and neck role

A

located in groups, ovals of lymphatic tissue

  • in subcutaneous tissues
  • superficial nodes are easily palpable
  • suck up damaged cells and invade organisms though lymph nodes before returning back to heart
140

1-2cm, soft, moveable

145
Q

Palpate trachea

A

normally midline. Palpate for shift

-index finger on sternal notch, slip off to each side. Should be symmetric

146
Q

Carotid artery

A
  • palpate and ausculate
  • lower or upper 1/3 of neck b/c carotid sinus at middle that stimulates heart
  • 1 side at a time
  • listen for bruit– wishing of turbulent blood flow-> stenosis or ballooning which is abnormal
147
Q

Examine CN XI

A

Spinal Accessory: trapezeus and sternomastoid

-hunch against pressure and turn against resistance

148
Q

Palpate thyroid

A
  • ask to bend head forward or to the right
  • use fingers of L hand to push trachea right
  • feel with R finger between trachea and muscle
  • ask to swallow
