Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The most common refractive disorder in children is hyperopia (farsightedness). Symptoms include reports of objects being unclear at close range and clearer at a distance. Younger children may have trouble focusing on a project that requires close vision work. The nurse should suggest that the child have a routine eye examination. The other options may or may not be beneficial, but do not address the potential visual problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hydrocephalus develops when an impedance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow or absorption is present. It rarely occurs as a result of the overproduction of CSF. Congenital anomalies, including Chiari I and II malformations, Dandy-Walker malformation, and aqueductal stenosis, are the most common causes of hydrocephalus during the neonatal and early infancy periods. Acquired hydrocephalus occurs after birth and in infancy, usually resulting from intraventricular hemorrhage due to prematurity. Folic acid deficiency is related to neural tube deficits.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
