MASTERING THE NRCME DOT Examiner Test FOR
CERTIFICATION: ACTUAL QUESTION AND VERIFIED ANSWER
WITH BONUS EXPLANATION GRADED A
According to FMCSA regulations, which of the following must the
medical examiner evaluate when
examining a driver's eyes?
A. Pupil reactivity
B. Iris symmetry
C. Conjunctival injection
D. Corneal thickness
Correct Response:
A. Pupil reactivity
Incorrect Responses:
B. Iris symmetry
This is incorrect because determining iris symmetry is not required by
FMCSA.
C. Conjunctival injection
This is in
correct because most causes of conjunctival injection would not be
disqualifying. Causes that
are suspicious for a disqualifying condition need additional evaluation.
While this abnormal finding
,should be explained, with determination of possible effects o
n safe driving before making a certification
decision, it is not a condition that is specified in FMCSA regulations.
D. Corneal thickness
This is incorrect because it is not measured in an office examination
except by an eye specialist.
According to FMCSA regulations, medical qualification for two years
can be given to a driver who has... ?
A. An SPE certificate for a left below the knee amputation (BKA).
B. Hypertension.
C. A recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia.
D. Documented medical
marijuana use for pain control.
Correct Response:
A.
An SPE certificate for a left below-the-knee amputation.This is the
correct response because in order
to obtain the SPE certificate, the driver had to demonstrate the ability
to perform all tasks for the
commercial driver job description
Incorrect Responses:
B. Hypertension.
, This is not the correct response because drivers with hypertension are
only given a medical certificate
that is good for one year.
C. A recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia.
This
is not the correct response because this is a progressive, degenerative
condition with no known
treatment. The effects of Lewy body dementia impact the ability to
operate a CMV safely.
D. Documented medical marijuana use for pain control.
This is not the c
orrect response because marijuana remains a drug listed in Schedule I
of the Controlled
Substances Act. It remains unacceptable for any safety
sensitive employee subject to drug testing under
the drug testing regulations of DOT to use marijuana. Also, FMCS
A medical guidelines state that "driving
impairment due to marijuana use is well substantiated."
During his visit to the medical examiner, a driver complains of severe
pain in his finger for the last two
weeks after it was punctured. The examination reve
als an infected, swollen finger. After the medical
examiner inquiries, the driver states that the pain is made worse
when he grips the steering wheel.
