Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The mother should be advised to never pinch the child's nose as it increases the risk for aspiration. The other statements are correct.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
On examination, the child's pupil of the affected eye appears white because the red reflex is absent. Some might describe this symptom as a cat's eye.. Ear tugging, eye protrusion, and keeping the eyes closed are not manifestations of retinoblastoma.
