Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Women who are unable to continue working while pregnant are protected from loss of employment benefits during pregnancy by federal law. According to federal law, an employer cannot deprive women of seniority rights because they take a maternity leave. The patient is not asking for special favors. The maternity leave can occur before the delivery because the Family Medical and Leave Act can be used once the baby is delivered. There is no time limit about how long a pregnant patient can work.

Answer to Question 2

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.
Vision acuity is used to test for myopia.Pupil-reaction-to-light tests neurological status.
