A

next to macula

36
Q

37
Q

What is a glaucoma test

A

A

external ear-external auditory canal and tympanic membrane

40
Q

41
Q

What is the structure of the inner ear

A

inner ear-vestibule and semicircular canals (bony labryinth)
cochlea

42
Q

What is the function of the ear

A

hearing and balance
sound waves travel through external auditory canal to the tympanic membrane (translucent pearly grey that seperates external and middle ear)
Auditory canal is lined with galnds that secrete cerumen

43
Q

Function of the middle ear

A

contains malleus, incus and stapes
it conducts sound vibrations
reduces amplitude of loud noises
equalizes air pressure via euschian tube to prevent tympanic membrane rupture

44
Q

Function of inner ear

A

vestibule and semicurcular canals (balance) and cochlea (hearing)
info then travels to the brain via cranial nerve VII

45
Q

Developmental considerations for infants and children with ears

A

shorter, horizontal eustchian tube -pathogens move from nasopharynx to middle ear
increased incidence of otitis media if bottle fed lying down

46
Q

Developmental considerations for older adults with ears

A

cilia course and stiff, impacted cerumen
presbycusis-gradual hearing loss

47
Q

Cultural and social considerations for the ear

A

increased incidence of otitis media in aboriginal children, premature infants, infants with down syndrome, infants fed in supine position
Cerumen-genetically determined-dry and wet cerumen
hearing loss is the 3rd most chronic condition in older adults-audism-discrimination based on hearing loss

48
Q

Promoting health

A

earbuds placed directly in the ear canal
related to hearing loss
use larger headphones that are noise cancelling
60-60 rule

49
Q

Subjective data-health history for ears

A

earaches(otalgia)
infections
discharge (ottorhea)
hearing loss
environmental noise
tinnitis
vertigo
self care-hearing protection and the last hearing test
Infants specifically-ear infections, hearing loss, injury

50
Q

Objective Data-Physical Exam Ears

A

prep-poaition and clean the ear
equi[ment-otoscope plus bright light, and pneumatic bulb attachment(kids)

51
Q

Otoscopic exam

A

Position head and ear, method of holding and inserting otoscope

A

Color and characteristics
positon
integrity of membrane

53
Q

Tympanic tube insertation

Mouth disease
throat disease
tooth development
self-care behaviours

70
Q

Additional health history questions for older adults mouth and throat

A

mouth dryness xerostomia)
teeth/denturess
mouth care
taste and smell
effect on nutrition

71
Q

Promoting Health-smokeless tobacco

A

chewing tobacco and snuff (dry or moist)
this can lead to oral, esophageal or pancreatic cancer
