Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The 28-week-gestation infant on oxygen weighing 1400 grams has the highest risk of retinopathy of prematurity because of gestational age (28 weeks or less), weight (less than 1500 g), and oxygen therapy. The other neonates have fewer risk factors.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The cover/uncover test can detect abnormal musculature of the eye that can lead to asymmetric eye movement. An ophthalmologic eye exam allows the practitioner to view the internal structures of the eye, not abnormal musculature. A vision acuity test is used to test for myopia. A pupil-reaction-to-light test evaluates neurological status.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
