This video covers the infectious diseases that affect the skin, nervous, cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. The characteristic and behavior of the disease and microorganisms are discussed.
This program provides a review of the anatomy of the eyes, ears, and nose, then demonstrates and describes a step-by-step approach for collecting subjective and objective data for use in an assessment of these body parts. When used with the program " Head and Neck, Mouth and Throat," the two programs provide a foundational understanding for the assessment of these areas.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
Describe the anatomy and physiology of the components of the eyes, ears, and nose
Describe both subjective and objective data to obtain in the assessment of the eyes, ears, and nose
Describe specific abnormalities that should be observed for during an assessment of the eyes, ears, and nose
List key questions to ask when taking the patient's history
This video reviews the anatomy, physiology, and functions of the eye and the ear and covers the physiologic processes involved in vision, hearing, and equilibrium. It selects specific topics for consideration during a health history interview of the client with health problems of the eye or ear and identifies abnormal findings that may indicate impairment in the function of the eye and the ear.
This video looks at abnormalities of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and mouth in children. It details the plan for screening programs and identification of children with vision and hearing abnormalities. Students learn to plan nursing care for children with vision or hearing impairments and the use of latest recommendations when implementing care and teaching for children with abnormalities of eyes, ears, nose, throat, and mouth.
This video relates knowledge of normal anatomy, physiology, and sensory functions of the eye and ear to the effects of disorders of these organs on the cognitive/perceptual functional health pattern. It describes the pathophysiology of commonly occurring disorders of the eyes and ears, relating their manifestations to the pathophysiologic process. It covers the risk factors for selected disorders of the eyes and ears, identifying the nursing implications for these risk factors and diagnostic tests used for specific eye and ear disorders. It looks at the effects of and nursing implications for medications prescribed to treat eye and ear disorders and points on types of surgical and other invasive procedures used to treat eye and ear disorders, identifying their implications for nursing care and role in caring for clients with impaired vision or hearing loss.
While some eye infections are common and treatable - such as conjunctivitis, or pink eye - other infections are more serious and, in a matter of hours, can totally destroy a patient's eyesight. This program features case studies involving typical and extreme eye infections, explores ways to prevent and treat related complications, and looks at what's on the horizon related to eye infection research. Topics include the special care needed by seniors and contact lens wearers as well as infections that can result from cataract surgery. Expert commentary comes from Dr. Harry Flynn of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and Dr. Eric Donnenfeld, an ophthalmic consultant.
People with glaucoma now have a reasonable chance of saving their eyesight—if the disease is detected early enough. This program focuses on information critical to fighting glaucoma, emphasizing the need for regular eye exams and medical support in the management of the degenerative ailment. Exploring the risk factors for glaucoma, including its disproportionate rate among African Americans and its relationship to diabetes and hypertension, the video covers various treatment strategies, including both surgery and the optic application of medicine. Viewers will find the program's detailed graphics helpful in understanding how glaucoma progresses and how it can be stopped.

Define glaucoma and explain disease manifestation; List different treatment options available; Describe the traditional medical treatments available; Understand the new medical agents available and how they may change therapeutic options for the treatment of glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, robbing people of their sight slowly and painlessly. Because there are usually no symptoms or pain, people are often not aware they have a problem and don't get diagnosed until it's too late. This program profiles several victims of the disease, explaining their symptoms and treatment, and why people may sometimes be afraid to be examined for the disease. An ophthalmologist explains the two major types of glaucoma, how they are diagnosed and treated, and the risk factors for developing the disease. The program stresses the need for people to get thorough eye exams because blindness from glaucoma
is preventable with the proper treatment.

The eye is one of our major sense organs. It gathers light information and transforms it into a signal that is used by the brain to formulate an appropriate response. How does this process work? What are the structures involved, and what do they do? These questions are answered using a unique, integrated approach that combines the anatomy and function of the eye. Includes detailed footage of the dissection of the bovine eye.
Topics covered include:
From light comes sight the role of light in vision
The outer eye
The anatomy of the inner eye
Forming an image
Sending the image to the brain
Accommodation
The blind spot
Seeing in the dark

As a person ages, his or her eyes undergo changes. Some of these changes, such as dryness and itching, are usually merely nuisances, but others can cause vision loss if not treated promptly. Age-related eye problems must be diagnosed and treated as early as possible in order to preserve vision. Dr. Cynthia MacKay, Associate Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, discusses major age-related eye problems such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal tears and detachments, combining an exploration of the pathophysiology of the aging eye with practical tips on diagnosis and management.
With time, the human eye undergoes changes-some sufficiently serious to consider surgical intervention. Dr. Cynthia MacKay, Associate Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, discusses major eye-related problems such as cataracts, the relationship of blood glucose control and diabetic retinopathy, and laser "corrective" eye surgery. She discusses the development of cataracts, the ophthalmologic workup required for diagnosis, treatment criteria based on case-by-case timing, prevention strategies, and demonstrates surgical procedures. It is crucial, she explains, for physicians to convince patients with diabetes that managing their blood glucose control strongly affects the development of diabetic retinopathy. She describes the high risks and possible benefits of "corrective" laser surgery for older patients.
This program provides a systematic overview of visual fields and their associated defects. After key terms are defined, a dynamic 3-D model of the brain and visual system is employed to illustrate the neuroanatomy of the eyes. A full demonstration of confrontational testing is then followed by a look at both kinetic and static automated field-testing techniques and an introduction to the visual field chart. The program closes by displaying the effects of various neurological lesions on the visual fields.
Covers the anatomy and assessment of the exterior of the head, including eyes and ears. The program reviews a thorough eye examination using the Snellen eye chart, visual field apparatus, and a penlight. Also demonstrates an exterior ear examination and an otoscopic exam. Hearing acuity tests are demonstrated.
This program from The Doctor Is In looks at such common eye disorders as presbyopia, torn or detached retinas, astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma, and night blindness, as well as such common problems as foreign particles in the eye or a scratch on the eye. It also looks at the effect on eyesight of exposure to ultraviolet light, lighting during reading, and the relationship between eyesight and TV viewing. It explains different kinds of glasses and the benefits and dangers of extended -wear contact lenses, shows a surgical treatment that eliminates the need for glasses for some people, offers tips on how to prevent some eye diseases and how to avoid some common eye injuries, and differentiates between ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians.
This program uses a quiz format to explain such sight-affecting conditions as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, "floaters" and light flashes, and macular degeneration. In the case of the earlier disorders, treatments are also described, and the point stressed that regular eye exams are the best defense against the gradual loss of vision.
