D Correct. Inspecting a child's red reflex with an ophthalmoscope and finding black spots or opacities, the nurse knows these findings are abnormal and may indicate a cataract.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. Since many of the antibiotics used in treating osteomyelitis have adverse audiologic side effects, caregivers need to be taught how to assess for hearing loss and to report this to the health care provider.
B Incorrect. If the child's mobility is still limited, entertainment ideas may be discussed with the caregivers, but they are not the most important instruction.
C Incorrect. The importance of a tutor may be appropriate to discus with the caregivers, especially if the child has been absent from school for a long period of time. However, it is not the most important discharge instruction.
D Incorrect. Restriction of visitors is not necessary since osteomyelitis is not a contagious disorder, and the infection has subsided by the time of discharge.
