Vestibular Caloric Test

Copeland is evaluating a 55-year-old patient who presents with a mild case of unilateral vestibular hypofunction and associated hearing loss on the left side.

Towards the opposite side, but reduced in magnitude B. Absent or significantly reduced nystagmus C. Towards the same side, but reduced in magnitude D. Eye movement is unaffected LINKS MENTIONED: Did you get this question wrong?!
