ANATOMY: Head • Frontal • Parietal • Temporal • Occipital • Zygomatic • Lacrimal • Sphenoid • Maxilla/Mandible
ANATOMY: Neck • Sternocleidomastroid • Trapezius • Trachea • Thyroid gland • Salivary glands: parotid, submandibular, sublingual • Cervical lymph nodes
ANATOMY: Lymph Nodes • preauricular • posterior auricular • occipital • submandibular • submental • jugulodigastric • superficial cervical / deep cervical • posterior cervical chain • supraclavicular
Focused Health History • Present health/illness status • lifestyle, environment, nutrition • Past health history • surgery, chronic illness, HA • Family health history • malignancy, blood disorders, recent infections, TB, history of HA, thyroid problems
Assessment: HEAD • Inspection • symmetry • size and shape • any unusual movements • Palpation of scalp • texture and distribution of hair • tenderness
Assessment: FACE • Inspection • facial expression • color, condition of skin • CN VII • Palpation of temporal artery • Thickening, hardness, tenderness • Ausculate • TMJ • Open/close jaw: crepitus, pain
Assessment: NECK • Inspection • symmetry: trachea centered • stability • Range of motion • R ear to R shoulder • L ear to L shoulder • Chin to sternum • hyperextend neck
NECK • Lymph nodes: 10 set of nodes • pads of 2nd, 3rd, 4th fingers • palpate both sides except at carotid • location, size, shape, # of nodes, surface characteristics, consistency, tenderness, mobility/fixation, signs of inflammation
NECK • Thyroid gland • Inspection • swallow • Palpation • lobes usually not palpable • anterior/posterior, swallow (rises) • Auscultation • bell to auscultate for bruit
Anatomy: EYE • Conjunctiva • Sclera: outer white layer • Cornea: covers pupil/iris • Anterior chamber: aqueous humor • Lacrimal apparatus: produces tears • Iris: color of eye • Pupil: allows light to pass • Lens
EYE • Vitreous body: fluid in post. champ. • Retina: inner coat of the eye • Optic nerve: light travels to visual cortex • Optic disc: nasal side of retina • Retinal vessels: 4 sets • Macula: central vision, darker orange • Fovea centralis: sharpest vision
Assessment History: EYES • Present health/illness status • vision, last eye exam • difficulty with vision • Past health history • trauma, surgery, infections • Family health history • myopia, hyperopia, strabismus • cancer, color blindness, cataracts, glaucoma, DM, HTN
EYES: Inspection • Measure visual acuity • snellen, rosenbaum • Assess visual fields: confrontation • EOM: 6 cardinal fields, corneal light reflex, cover/uncover test • External ocular structures: eyelids, eyelashes, conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, anterior chamber, lacrimal apparatus, iris, pupil
Eye Variations • Nearsightedness (Myopia): cannot see objects far away • Farsightedness (Hyperopia): cannot see objects nearby • Presbyopia: become farsighted as age • Astigmatism: uneven curvature: blurred vision
Eye Variations • Exophthalmos: protrusion of eyeball • Ptosis: drooping upper eyelid • Hordeolum: sty • Conjunctivitis: “pink eye” • Arcus senilis: white ring around cornea that is normal with age
