Checking the pupils for reactivity to light is not relevant to a focused exam for a patient complaining of shortness of breath. It would be more appropriate to focus on the respiratory system, such as listening to breath sounds and observing the use of neck muscles. Checking the nail beds can also provide information about possible respiratory distress.
