Extraocular muscle function - ✔️✔️symmetrical movement to the 6 cardinal fields of gaze
test what?

- Yellow to pink optic disc w/ distinct margins
- Light red arterioles (2/3 diameter of veins) w/ bright light reflex

- Lateralization of sound through bone conduction
- Unilateral conductive loss - sound lateralizes toward affected ear
Unilateral sensorineural loss - sound lateralizes to the normal or better-hearing side.
Rinne test - ✔️✔️- Vibrating tuning fork 1st placed on mastoid process, then in front of
external auditory canal to test bone vs air conduction of sound (AC:BC = 2:1)
- Test of conductive hearing loss
AC:BC = 2:1 - ✔️✔️Normal results of Rinne test
Sensorineural hearing loss - ✔️✔️caused by defect in inner ear distorting sound, age,
trauma from loud noises, genetics
Conductive hearing loss - ✔️✔️impaired through external/middle ear; caused by fluid,
object, swelling, ruptured eardrum, ear wax
Normal otoscopic exam - ✔️✔️Tympanic membrane intact, pearly gray, translucent, with
cone light at 5-7:00
Acute otitis media - ✔️✔️infx of middle ear; often preceded by URI or allergies/smoke
Full/bulging tympanic membrane with no/obscured bony landmarks, distorted light
reflex, post-auricular cervical lymphadenopaty

and pleural effusion
Increased - ✔️✔️Tactile fremitus is (increased/decreased) with global pneumonia and
pulmonary edema
Vocal resonance - ✔️✔️This is usually muffled/indistinct; if it is not = fluid/solid mass in
lungs
Crackles - ✔️✔️Air flowing by fluid; sign of early heart failure, pneumonia, or bronchitis
Fine crackles - ✔️✔️Heard at end of inspiration, high pitch, popping, short duration
Coarse crackle - ✔️✔️- Heard during inspiration (may be during exp), low pitch, loud,
bubbling, longer duration
- Does not disappear with coughing
