NUR 2092 PRACTICE EXAM
1. During a Weber test, a patient with right ear hearing loss reports hearing sound longer
in the right ear than the left ear. What results should the nurse expect to find from this
patient during a Rinne test?
• Air conduction will be twice as long as bone conduction (2:1 ratio).
• Air conduction will be 1.5 times as long as bone conduction (1.5:1 ratio).
• Bone conduction will be longer than air conduction.
• Bone conduction will be equal to air conduction.
2. A nurse reads in the history that a patient has a new onset of acute otitis media. Based on
this information, how does the nurse expect this patient’s tympanic membrane to
appear?
• Dull
• Shiny
• Red
• Blue to deep red
3. A nurse examines a patient’s auditory canal and tympanic membrane with an otoscope
and observes which finding as normal?
,• Clear fluid lining the auditory canal
• A firm tympanic membrane without fluctuation with puffs of air
• A small hole within the cone of light
• A shiny, translucent tympanic membrane

rhythmical, horizontal movement of the patient’s eyes. How does a nurse document this
finding?

, • Nystagmus
• Exophthalmus
• Myopia
6. How does a nurse recognize normal accommodation?
• The patient has peripheral vision of 90 degrees left and right.
• The patient’s eyes move up and down, side to side, and obliquely.
• The right pupil constricts when a light is shown in the left pupil.
• The patient’s pupils dilate when looking toward a distant object.
7. When inspecting a patient’s eyes, the nurse assesses the presence of cranial nerve
III (oculomotor nerve) by observing the eyelids open and close bilaterally. What
other technique does a nurse use to test the function of this cranial nerve?
• Pupillary constriction to light
• Visual acuity
• Peripheral vision
