Sample item

What is an important feature distinguishing conjunctivitis from acute glaucoma?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. Usually normal visual acuity

The defining Conjunctiva relationship supports Usually normal visual acuity; it is the option that directly accounts for the examination finding or clinical priority in this sample.

Option by option

  • A. Marked corneal edema

    Marked corneal edema can be relevant elsewhere but is not the best conclusion here.

  • B. Usually normal visual acuity (correct)

    Correct. Usually normal visual acuity directly fits the key clue in the scenario.

  • C. Abrupt halo vision

    Abrupt halo vision is unsupported by the symptom pattern or examination result.

  • D. Severe fixed mid-dilated pupil

    Severe fixed mid-dilated pupil does not explain the stated conjunctiva feature.
