Answer to Question 1

D
Administering water or milk can dilute the toxic effects of acid or alkali ingestion. Ingestion of leaded paint chips would not indicate treatment with administration of water or milk. Ingestion of aspirin is not treated with the administration of water or milk. The treatment may involve gastric lavage with activated charcoal, IV fluids with various additives to decrease absorption and treatment of electrolyte imbalances, and vitamin K for bleeding tendencies. Ingestion of acetaminophen is not treated with the administration of milk or water. Gastric lavage within 1 hour and administration of the antidote N-acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) are indicated.

Answer to Question 2

C
Strabismus is normal in the young infant but should not be present after 3 months of age. Binocularity, the ability to fixate on one visual field with both eyes, is not present at birth but is established by 6 months of age. Visual acuity by 4 months of age is between 20/50 and 20/80 . Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is normal until about 7 years of age.
