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.
