Question 6

Multiple Choice

Read the following excerpt from a health note: I saw Mrs. Kelly Robison in my office on 5/7/2015 for routine follow-up. As you know, Mrs. Robison initially presented with nystagmus, strabismus, and noted photophobia. She was diagnosed at the time with aniridia. I have been treating her medically with miotics.
Which of the following groups of definitions is correct?


A) nystagmus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object strabismus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes
Photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (excessive sensitivity) = excessive sensitivity to light
Aniridia: an (no) + irid (iris) + ia (condition) = absence of the iris
Miotics: mio (contraction) + tic (agent) = drug that causes the abnormal contraction of the pupil
B) nystagmus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object strabismus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes
Photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (paralysis) = eyes do not function properly in the light
Aniridia: an (small) + irid (iris) + ia (condition) = condition where the iris is overly contracted
Miotics: mio (contraction) + tic (agent) = drug that causes the abnormal contraction of the pupil
C) nystagmus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes strabismus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object
Photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (excessive sensitivity) = excessive sensitivity to light
Aniridia: an (no) + irid (iris) + ia (condition) = absence of the iris
Miotics: mio (contraction) + tic (agent) = drug that causes the abnormal contraction of the pupil
D) nystagmus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes strabismus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object
Photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (paralysis) = eyes do not function properly in the light
