Chapter 11: Head and Neck
Ball: Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
2. Mrs. Britton brings her 16-year-old son in with a complaint that he is not developing
correctly into adolescence. Which structures disproportionately enlarge in the male during
adolescence?
a. Coronal sutures
b. Hyoid and cricoid cartilages
c. Mandible and maxilla bones
d. Nose and thyroid cartilages
ANS: D
In adolescent males, the nose enlarges and the thyroid cartilage becomes the largest
component of the anterior larynx, known as the Adam’s apple.
3. Which of the following is an expected change in the assessment of the thyroid during
pregnancy?
a. Palpation of the gland becomes difficult.
b. A bruit is auscultated.
c. Inspection reveals a goiter.
d. The gland is tender on palpation.
ANS: B
During pregnancy, the thyroid gland hypertrophies (not to the point of a goiter), palpation
is easier and, because the gland also has increased vascularity, bruits are common. It is an
abnormal finding for the thyroid to feel fibrotic, tender, or smaller.
5. Ms. Galvan is a 22-year-old secretary who comes to the clinic with headaches of 6 weeks’
duration. She tells the office assistant about her heavy schedule, including part-time work
and evening classes. Her vital signs are normal. Which information is most appropriate to
Ms. Galvan’s history?
a. Current medications
b. Elimination patterns
c. Immunization status
d. Previous pregnancies
ANS: A
Some current medications, such as birth control pills, nitroglycerin, antihypertensives,
antiseizure drugs, and some diabetic drugs, can be headache triggers. Withdrawal of
headache medication can also trigger headaches.
9. Which is the best way to position a patient’s neck for palpation of the thyroid?
a. Flexed away from the side being examined
b. Flexed directly forward
c. Flexed toward the side being examined
d. Hyperextended directly backward
ANS: C
The patient should be positioned so that the sternocleidomastoid muscle is relaxed and the
thyroid is easier to palpate. This is done by having the patient flex the neck slightly
forward and laterally toward the side being examined.
11. You are palpating a patient’s thyroid and find that its broadest dimension measures 4 cm.
The right lobe is 25% larger than the left. These data would indicate:
a. a congenital anomaly.
b. a multinodular goiter.
c. a normal thyroid gland.
d. thyroiditis.
ANS: C
The situation described is most likely a normal finding; the right lobe of the thyroid gland
is typically 25% larger than the left and measures 4 cm. The other choices produce
enlargements beyond these normal findings.
15. When noting a bulging fontanel with marked pulsations in a 6-month-old, you suspect:
a. normal development.
b. congenital anomaly.
c. increased intracranial pressure.
d. fever response to a viral infection.
ANS: C
A bulging fontanel with pulsations suggests increased intracranial pressure. A normal
fontanel feels slightly depressed, with mild pulsations.
16. Which type of headache usually occurs at night, is precipitated by alcohol consumption,
and occurs more often in men than in women?
a. Classic migraine
b. Temporal arteritis
c. Cluster
d. Hypertensive
ANS: C
Cluster headaches usually occur at night; they are associated with alcohol consumption
and occur more often in men.
17. Mr. Johnson presents with a freely movable cystic mass in the midline of the high neck
region, at the base of the tongue. This is most likely a:
a. parotid gland tumor.
b. branchial cleft cyst.
c. Stensen duct stone.
d. thyroglossal duct cyst.
ANS: D
A thyroglossal duct cyst presents as a freely movable mass at the base of the tongue. A
parotid gland tumor occurs in the ear and cheek bone area. A branchial cleft cyst occurs in
the lateral neck area. A Stensen duct stone occurs in the parotid duct.
18. The premature union of cranial sutures that involves the shape of the head without mental
retardation is:
a. craniosynostosis.
b. encephalocele.
c. microcephaly.
d. myxedema.
ANS: A
In patients with craniosynostosis, the cranial sutures fuse prematurely, causing a
misshapen head, but mental retardation is not involved. Encephalocele and microcephaly
involve mental retardation. Myxedema is a condition of hyperthyroidism.
19. Mr. Donaldson is a 64-year-old patient with complaints of headaches. As the examiner,
you are palpating his head during your physical examination. Which of the following
would be your first step?
a. Palpate the patient’s hair, noting texture, color, and distribution.
b. Palpate the temporomandibular joint.
c. Palpate the skull from front to back.
d. Palpate the temporal artery.
ANS: C
Palpate the skull in a gentle rotary movement first, progressing systematically from front
to back.

Plate xxvii. gives the plan and elevation of a pair of cottages also
having similar accommodation to those with the long sloping roofs
shown on Plate xx. The cost, however, is here considerably reduced
by each house having a side entrance, and by the omission of the
ingle nook, verandah and bay, while the living room, though smaller,
is not a passage room. By approaching the stairs from the lobby, not
only is more privacy secured, but the space beneath is made
available in the kitchen for a “Cabinet” bath, which is so placed as to
occupy it when in use instead of projecting into the kitchen. The
planning is simple and square, which, with the omission of bays and
the introduction of plain casements, all helps to reduce the cost.
The accommodation is:—
Ground Floor.
Living Room, 12 ft. 4 ins. × 16 ft. Kitchen, 10 ft. 3 ins. × 11 ft. 6 ins. Lobby.
Larder, w.c. and Coals.
Bedroom Floor.
First Bedroom, 12 ft. 4 ins. × 16 ft. Second Bedroom, 7 ft. 8 ins. × 11 ft. 6 ins.
Third Bedroom, 8 ft. × 8 ft. 3 ins. Linen Closet.
Total cost, including all extras, £250 per cottage.
Laying out of gardens, £10 each.
Cubical contents, 24,000 ft., at 5d. per foot cube, £500, or £250
per cottage.

Plate xxix. and the accompanying scale-drawing give the plan and
elevation of a block of three cottages, a sketch of which appears in
Plate xxx. The inner one occupies an exact third of the land, and is
double fronted. By putting the inner one with its axis to the front, an
equal garden-space is given to all the houses without incurring a re-
division of the land.
PLATE XXX.
BLOCK OF THREE COTTAGES.
SEE PAGE 35.
Cost of left-hand and inner houses, including all extras, £293 per
cottage. (Built in 1904.)
The right-hand house, owing to the extra conveniences, works out
at rather more.
In the middle house the recess between the range and small
window makes a very convenient space for a writing table, especially
if curtains are dropped from a rod to screen it off, its proximity to the
range making it a warm and cosy retreat in winter. There is a bay
window to the living room of the outside houses.
Two of the houses in this block are fitted with Cornes’ Patent
Combined Scullery-Bath-Range and Boiler, described on page 52,
and the third with the “Cabinet” bath.
The elevation, with the forecourt formed by the projection of the two
outside houses, may be made very pleasing. From the perspective it
will be seen that the inner house is covered with rough-cast, making
an agreeable contrast with the outer ones of plain brickwork. Rough-
cast, while fairly economical, is very effective, and helps to brighten
the forecourt. The projection of the outer houses affords a break, the
abruptness of which does not attract attention, but which gives an
opportunity of stopping the rough-cast, which would otherwise have to
be carried round to the back of the whole block.
It is not advisable to introduce a variety of colour upon exteriors.
Colour is best disposed in masses—that is, it should be treated
broadly, not distributed in isolated portions, or in sharply contrasting
tints. (See page 59.)
The roof of this block is of green slates of varying sizes, diminishing
towards the ridge.
Aspect in the placing of the house is here studied as well as the
site. The axis runs south-west and north-east, and the front
commands a pleasing perspective of one of the principal Bournville
roads, and an admirable view of the Lickey Hills in the distance.
