NR 302 Exam 2
Romberg Test - Tests for equillibrium
Lymphadenopathy - Swollen lymph nodes
Delimination - discrete or matted together
Documentation of palpable lymph nodes - location, size, shape, delimination, mobility, consistency,
tenderness
Bruit - whooshing, blowing sound heard best with the bell of stethescope
Accelerated or turbulent blood flow, hyperthyroidism - Bruit
Increased intracranial pressure - Bulging fontanel occurs with:
Dehydration or malnutrition - Depressed/sunken in fontanels
Tension headache - -Usually located on both sides
-Across frontal, temporal, and occipital
-Band-like tightness
-Non-throbbing
-Mild to moderate
-NOT worsened by physical activity
Migraine - -Commonly one-sided
-Behind eyes

-Appear as opaque black areas against the red reflex
Glaucoma - -An optic nerve neuropathy characterized by loss of peripheral vision.
-Caused by increased intraocular pressure
-Oblong pupils

-Leading cause of blindness in adults ages 25-74
Age-Related Macular Degeneration - -A loss of central vision caused by yellow deposits (druse) and
neovascularity in the macula of the eye
-Cannot see centrally, but peripheral vision is not affected
