Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The care for a hematoma eye injury with no hemorrhage into the anterior chamber is to apply ice for the first 24 hours. A warm moist pack should not be applied, and the child should keep the eyes closed. Referral to an ophthalmologist is recommended if hyphema (hemorrhage into the anterior chamber) is present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Treatment for cataracts requires surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it (with an intraocular lens implant, removable contact lens, or prescription glasses). Treatment for glaucoma may require more than one surgery. Anisometropia is treated with corrective lenses. Myopia is corrected with biconcave lenses that focus rays on the retina.
