25
The characteristic of typhoid fever is
nocturnal at its peak | bradycardia
26
Epistaxis is often the presenting sign of patients with
Ostler-Weber-Rondeau disease | hereditary hemorrhagic telangectasia
27
bilateral obstruction can indicate to
more serious infection or allergy
28
Patient can cause own nasal obstruction by chronic use of
``` intranasal epinephrine (rhinitis medicomentosa) ```
29
Unilateral obstruction can be caused by
deviated septum nasal polyps foreign body malignant disease
30
choanae atretic can cause
choking at birth
31
Inspect nasal cavity well by using a
speculum with a bright ligh
32
Inspecting nasal cavity includes the following regions
vestibules mucosa inferior and middle turbinate bones middle meatus and septum
33
As seen on the film, a patient whose nasal pyramid is completely destroyed by tertiary syphilis allows the view of
inferior and middle turbinates ethmoidal spine remnant of the vomer
34
nasal mucosa appearance
bright red, much redder than mucosa of the mouth,
35
nasal mucosa is often misdiagnosed as being
hyperemic
36
bright red appearance is
normal physical finding
37
Swollen erectile turbinates are seen in
common cold hyperemic mucosa characteristic discharge
38
Swollen and pale turbinates indicate
allergic rhinitis
39
condition: the turbinates are often atrophic
Atrophic rhinitis
40
in Atrophic rhinitis, mucosa is covered with
crust and pus
41
Atrophic rhinitis: patient often complains of an offensive odor called
ozena
42
the greatest symptom of Atrophic rhinitis
ozena
43
Patients with 2 week history of nasal discharge that is not allergy related can indicate
ethmoidal and sphenoid maxillary | or frontal sinusitis
44
Gross distortion of nasal anatomy is usually a result of
trauma
45
Nasal septum with a perforation can be caused by
TB or systemic lupus
46
Commonly Gross distortion is from
chronic picking submucus resection operation chronic cocaine abuse
47
Cystic fibrosis presents with
several edematous boggy saccular masses in nasal passage
48
edematous boggy saccular masses in nasal passage called
polyps
49
polyps are seen more commonly in patients with
allergic rhinitis
50
Most nasal polyps Occur in
middle meatus
51
polyps are often confused with
turbinates,
52
polyps characteristic
pale non-tender to touch move freely on their stalk
53
turbinates characteristic
pink tender to touch immobile
54
Label the tympanic membrane
1
55
A complete examination of ear includes inspection of
auricles auditory canals tympanic membranes an estimate of the patient’s hearing
56
Most ear pathologies found on auricle are found upon
simple inspection
57
Total aplasia of auricle may or may not be associated with
atretic external auditory canal
58
T/F: The shape of the auricle is important
True
59
Cutis laxa causes
lop ears
60
Visible lumps in pinna are usually gouty tophy from
sodium urate crystals.
61
is auricle immune to neoplasia
no, but it's rare
62
A benign cystic mass of EAM can be
basal cell carcinoma
63
Wrestlers and boxers with chronic trauma to auricles suffer from
bleeding between cartilage and perichondrium
64
Scar tissue collects causing deformity of auricle called
cauliflower ear
65
the cause of tinnitus and partial deafness in one ear is
impacted cerumen
66
Cerumen is commonly a source of
fever as are foreign bodies
67
he external auditory canal may collapse and hearing can be improve by
pulling the ear out to open the canal
68
In performing the otoscopic examination pull the ear ________ for adults
up and back
69
In performing the otoscopic examination pull the ear ________ for infants
down and back
70
most sensitive wall of the ear canal is
anterior wall
