Answers (Latest Update 2024) Verified Answers
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 answers ✅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 incorrect 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 on 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.

given to a driver who has... ?

C. A recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia.
D. Documented medical marijuana use for pain control. - correct answers
✅Correct Response:

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 correct 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, FMCSA medical guidelines state
that "driving impairment due to marijuana use is well substantiated."
