Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Feedback:
Past illness history criteria that place a patient at risk during pregnancy include a seizure disorder, a chronic disease such as hypertension, and sexually transmitted infections. A previous cesarean birth and a history of abnormal Pap smears are criteria for the obstetrical history, which can place the patient at risk during pregnancy.

A Binocularity, the ability to fixate on one visual field with both eyes, is not

C Strabismus is normal in the young infant but should not be present after 3
months of age.
