NUR 330L Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Shining Light, Peripheral Vision, Bone Conduction
Document Summary
Palpebral fissures look for drainage or discharge redness look at scalar (should be white) look for jaundice look at conjunctiva (should be pink), if pale could be anemic check for pupillary reflexes.
