|
|
|
What is another name for ethmoid sinuses?
|
Ethmoid air cells
|
|
|
T/F
You can palpate and percuss the sinuses to test for sinus pressure. |
True!
|
|
|
When examining the nasal cavity, what structures will you be able to see?
|
Septum, middle turbinate and inferior turbinate
|
|
|
T/F
When examining the ear canal, you will be able to see an inner ear infection. |
False!
Won't be able to see an inner ear infection, but can see external otitis and otitits media |
|
|
On the external ear, the top part of the cartilage is called what (where people might have a hoop piercing)?
|
Helix
|
|
|
On the external ear, the part of the cartilage that is located superolaterally from the opening to the ear canal (but not along the outside of the ear), is called what?
|
Antihelix
|
|
|
The part that I have pierced, anterior to the ear canal opening, is called what?
|
Tragus
|
|
|
If someone has a very small ear, but otherwise is mostly normal-looking, what is this called?
|
Type 1 microtia
|
|
|
If someone has a small, moderately deformed external ear, what is this called?
|
Type 2 microtia
|
|
|
If someone has a deformed external ear, and the opening to the ear canal is closed off, what is this called?
|
Type 3 microtia
|
|
|
In adults, how do you straighten the ear canal to examine the tympanic membrane?
|
Grab helix and pull up and back
|
|
|
In kids, how do you straighten the ear canal to examine the tympanic membrane?
|
Pull ear down and back
|
|
|
What structures/landmarks of the ear should you be able to see when examining the tympanic membrane?
|
Incus, malleus (short process and handle), umbo, cone of light, pars flaccida, and pars tensa
|
|
|
What is the purpose of tympanostomy tubes?
|
Allows the middle ear to drain externally
|
|
|
What are the 3 different conductive phases of the ear called?
|
Air conduction, bone conduction, and sensorineural phase
|
|
|
In the Weber test (lateralization), sound is heard in the:
a) bad ear with what type of hearing loss? b) good ear with what type of hearing loss? It should normally be heard equally in both ears. |
a) Conductive
b) Sensorineural |
|
|
What is the name of the test where you first test bone conduction behind the ear until it can't be heard anymore, then move the tuning fork to the side of the ear to make sure that they can hear it longer there.
|
Winne test
|
|
|
In the Winne test, the sound should be heard longer at the (canal/mastoid).
|
Canal
|
|
|
What is serumen?
|
Ear wax
|
|
|
If the sound lateralizes to the left ear in the Weber test, which ear should you use the Rinne test on?
|
Left
If air is longer than bone, then it is sensorineural in right. If bone is longer than air, then it is conduction in left. |
|
|
If during the Weber test, there is a sensorineural hearing loss, it will lateralize to the (good/bad) ear.
|
Good
|
|
|
If during the Weber test, there is a conductive hearing loss, it will lateralize to the (good/bad) ear.
|
Bad
|
|
|
How can you grade tonsillar size?
|
On a scale of 0-4, with:
0 = can't see 1 = barely peaking out 2 3 4 = all the way to the uvula, sometimes touching |
|
|
What is the name for a bony growth in the mandible along the surface nearest to the tongue?
|
Torus mandibularis
|
|
|
What is the name for a bony protrusion on the palate, usually present on the midline of the hard palate?
|
Torus palatinus
|
|
|
Using a mirror to view the vocal cords is called what?
|
Indirect laryngoscopy
|
|
|
Why are the supraclavicular nodes important?
|
If they are easy to feel and you don't feel nodes distal to that, then they are coming from the lungs. Differential dx is lymphoma or lung cancer.
|
|
|
When palpating, how do lymph nodes compare to big sebaceous cysts and tumors?
|
Lymph nodes tend to be freely moveable, unlike big sebaceous cysts which are more fixed, and tumors are very fixed.
|
|
|
What are 2 possible techniques for palpating the thyroid gland?
|
2 hands from behind or one hand from in front
|
|
|
