5 times

25
Q

a bruit may be present with

hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis.

26
Q

While examining the patient’s neck, the nurse finds the trachea midline but has difficulty palpating the thyroid. What action would the nurse take next?

A

document the finding as normal

27
Q

The lymph nodes that lie in front of the mastoid bone are the:

A

preauricular nodes

28
Q

Which of the following descriptions is most consistent with a patient who has hypothyroidism?

A

Slightly obese female with periorbital edema and a flat facial expression, who complains of constipation, deceased appetite, and fatigue

29
Q

The nurse can best evaluate the strength of the sternocleidomastoid muscle by having the patient

A

turn his or her head against resistance

30
Q

Which of the following best describes the instructions the nurse should give a patient when assessing the thyroid from the posterior approach?

A

Please tilt your head slightly down and to one side.

31
Q

While assessing a patient, the nurse finds a palpable lymph node in the left supraclavicular region. Which of the following should be the next action?

A

Recognize that it is not common to palpate lymph nodes in this region and they must be carefully evaluated

32
Q

While reviewing laboratory values for thyroid function on an adult patient, the nurse sees that the TSH is elevated, and the T3 and T4 are decreased. The nurse recognizes that these findings are indicative of

A

hypothyroidism

33
Q

A patient presents with a complaint of drooping of his eyes, cheeks, and mouth on one side. This finding is most likely associated with pathology of which cranial nerve?

A

cranial nerve 5

34
Q

Jaeger test and allen test are used for

A

near vision

35
Q

Patients older than 40 years of age often have a decreased ability to

A

accommodate their eyes, often needing to move the object further away to read

36
Q

nystagmus

A

rapid, involuntary movements of the eye

A

common imperfection in the eye’s curvature

38
Q

confrontation test

40
Q

A

earache

41
Q

tinnitus

A

ear ringing

42
Q

The whisper test evaluates

A

loss of high-frequency sounds.

43
Q

During the Rinne test, AC should be twice as long as BC. If BC is equal to or greater than AC…

A

it is evidence of conductive hearing loss

44
Q

The middle ear contains

A

the malleus, incus, and stapes (they conduct sound waves to the inner ear)

45
Q

what population has the highest risk of hearing loss

A

Older adult men of European descent have the highest incidence, which may be related to previous occupational exposure.

46
Q

Which of the following differentiates the RN assessment from the APRN assessment of the ear?

A

Otoscopic assessment

47
Q

epitaxis

A

nose bleeding

48
Q

The most common site of bleeding

A

kiesselbach plexus (highly vascular area of the nose)

49
Q

Risk factors for nose, sinus, mouth, and throat problems include

A

Risk factors specific to this area include topical decongestant use, smoking, inhaling substances and chemicals, allergies, and dust exposure.

50
Q

During routine physical examination of a 20-year-old woman, the nurse notes a septal perforation. This finding may be significant for which of the following causes?
