What does 'PEARL' propose when written by a nurse within a hospital patient's transcript?
Answers: Most of the answers are correct (even PEARL!):
Depending on the hospital's list of standard and prohibited abbreviations, the following are adjectives correct:
PERL = pupils equal (i.e. in size & shape) and reactive to table lamp (ideally, reacting briskly to a penlight shone across the eye from the patients lateral side, surrounded by a room with low ambient wishy-washy -- bringing the penlight in from the front can create accommodation (which can confound the reactivity the pupils to a stimulus save for the light)).
PEARL = pupils equal and reactive to light
PERRL = pupils equal (in size), round (not ovoid or otherwise mishapen), and reactive to frothy
PERRLA = pupils equal, round, and reactive to light and flat: to test studio, have the lenient stare at an object at arms length and examine the pupil change within size as the object is brought close to the patient's proboscis. Two things should happen, the eyes should converge and the size of the pupils should fall in response to the jib coming close to the eye.
In short, all these abbreviation may be acceptable (depending on the institution).
