94) Read the following eye consult excerpt:

Her resultant refractive errors have been corrected with glasses, and she had strabismus surgery in 2013 to help improve her binocular vision. Last year, she was noted to have significant corneal clouding that was successfully treated with keratoplasty.

Which of the following statements is NOT true about the excerpt?

A) Prior to surgery in 2013, the patient's eyes deviated when looking at the same object.

B) The patient had surgery in 2013 to improve vision in both her eyes.

C) The patient had surgery on her lens to prevent further clouding in her cornea.

D) The patient recently had surgery on her cornea to treat clouding in her cornea.

E) This excerpt relates the patient's medical history.

95) Read this excerpt from an Eye Consult:

As is common with this condition, the medicine alone was not enough to prevent glaucoma. I have been routinely monitoring her IOP, and it has risen in the recent past. It is my recommendation to perform a trabeculectomy to relieve the pressure. I discussed the risks and benefits from the surgery with Mrs. Robison, and she is interested in proceeding. She will contact my staff for scheduling.

According to the excerpt:

A) The author would like to perform a trabeculectomy (incision into the eye's trabecular meshwork) to increase some of the patient's visual acuity.

B) The author would like to perform a trabeculectomy (loosening of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to relieve some of the pressure on the outside of the patient's eye.

C) The author would like to perform a trabeculectomy (reconstruction of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to increase the patient's field of vision.

D) The author would like to perform a trabeculectomy (removal of part of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to relieve some of the pressure inside the patient's eye.

E) The author would like to perform a trabeculectomy (suture of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to heal the patient's clouded lens.

96) Read the following Ear Consult:

Johnny Masur is a 4-year-old boy referred to my clinic for evaluation of chronic otitis media. He began with a 1-week history of nasal congestion, runny nose, and cough. He has had a low-grade temperature up to 100.2. He went to his PCP last week for otopyorrhea on the left side and otalgia on the right side. He was diagnosed with bilateral acute otitis media and treated with oral antibiotics. He has failed three separate courses of oral antibiotics.

PMHx

Johnny's history is significant for tympanostomy tubes placed bilaterally when he was 2 years old. One tube left a persistent perforation in the tympanic membrane, so he had tympanoplasty at 3 years of age. He has not had any episodes of otitis media in the past 2 years.

According to the excerpt, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A) Johnny Masur was referred to the clinic for AOM.

B) Johnny visited his primary care physician because he had pus coming from his left ear and pain in his right ear.

C) Johnny's ear drum was reconstructed at age 3 because one tube left a hole in the TM.

D) Johnny's primary care physician diagnosed him with an inflammation of the middle ear in both ears and prescribed antibiotics.

E) When Johnny was 2, he had tubes placed in both of his ears to create an opening in the eardrum.

97) Read the following information from the patient's health record:

Physical Exam

RR: 24; HR: 88; Temp: 99.9; BP: 98/68.

Gen: Well-developed 4y/o in no acute distress.

HEENT: Normocephalic. PERRLA. No conjunctival erythema; mild clear nasal discharge; right canal blocked with cerumen—after ceruminolytic placed and canal clear, the tympanic membrane was seen.  It was erythematous and full. Some mild tympanosclerosis of TM noted; the left ear was erythematous and full. Mild mastoidalgia on the left, but the ear is not displaced forward.

CV: RRR without murmur.

Resp: CTA.

Which of the following is TRUE given this information?

A) His eyes were red.

B) Right canal blocked with ear wax.

C) The medical professional performing the physical exam washed the external ear canal.

D) The patient is experiencing severe ear pain.

E) There was a hole in the patient's ear drum.

98) Read Johnny's assessment:

ASSESSMENT:

Johnny has chronic OM failing three courses of oral antibiotics.

Which of the following is TRUE given this information?

A) Otitis media, an inflammation of the inner ear

B) Otitis media, an inflammation of the middle ear

C) Otitis media, an inflammation of the outer ear

D) Otomycosis, a fungal ear condition

E) Otomycosis, hearing loss caused by improper working of the ear muscles

99) Read the following health record excerpt:

I have performed tympanocentesis in the office and sent the fluid for culture. While awaiting the result, we will treat him with an IM antibiotic. I will also send a fungal culture to rule out otomycosis. While Johnny has mild mastoidalgia, he is afebrile today and in no distress, and his ear is not displaced. Thus, I do not think he has acute mastoiditis, but I told Johnny's parents what to look for.  Given how long Johnny has had this infection, he will need to see audiology for audiometry when he is better.

According to the health record excerpt, which statement is NOT true?

A) Johnny's parents are monitoring him for symptoms of mastoid inflammation.

B) The author punctured the patient's ear drum and sent the fluid for culture.

C) The author ran a test to see if the patient has a fungal infection in his ear.

D) The patient had a hearing test.

E) The patient has pain in the mastoid.
