Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
Chalazion usually resolves spontaneously but may require surgical drainage. Therapeutic management of blepharitis, hordeolum, and periorbital cellulitis may require antibiotic ointment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
When interacting with a visually impaired child, use his name to gain his attention before touching him. Letting him listen to his heart with the stethoscope, describing the examination room, and promoting exploration by touch are sound ways to interact but are not specific to communicating with the child at the beginning of the assessment.
