---

1.  A normal vision age-related change is: Loss of accommodation Slower dark adaptation Decreased contrast sensitivity All of the above

2.  The prevalence of acute post-stroke visual impairment average: 40% 50% 65% 75%

3.  All of the following are included in an acute care visual screen EXCEPT: Manual muscle testing Visual field Ocular motility Visual acuity

4.  The following patient observations may indicate ocular motility problems: Skips lines while reading Excessive head movement Difficulty with ADLs that require frequent changes in fixation and accurate eye movements All of the above

5.  When interpreting visual acuity scores based on the concept of 20/20 visual acuity, the denominator stands for: The testing distance at which the subject recognizes the stimulus The distance where the stimulus gets slightly blurry The distance at which the letter being viewed could be identified by a patient with normal visual acuity The distance when the patient starts to read the chart out loud

6.  The following are general acute care interventions for a patient with vision impairment EXCEPT: Lighting Speaking loudly to the patient Contrast strategies Clutter reduction and organization

7.  A contrast strategy for adaptive equipment might be: Orange contrast tape at the edge of a white sock aid White contrast loops on a white brace Regular lined paper and pencil Black tape on a black remote control

8.  A technique for visual scanning is: Education on a visual field screening result Using an organized search pattern Lighthouse technique All of the above

9.  Which of the following is a medical doctor who focuses on medically managing eye health through surgery, pharmaceuticals or optical devices? Optometrist Optician Ophthalmologist Occupational therapist

10.  Identify the health care provider who specializes in the examination, diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures. Rehabilitation techniques can include the use of lenses, prism, low vision devices, and vision therapy. Vision therapist Occupational therapist Optometrist Ophthalmologist
