Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Discharge is noted with conjunctivitis. Corneal haziness is not a symptom of
conjunctivitis.
B Paralytic strabismus is caused by weakness or paralysis of one or more the
extraocular muscles. Neither tearing nor corneal haziness are symptoms of
paralytic strabismus.
C A congenital cataract will cause an opacity, but not excessive tearing.
D Excessive tearing and corneal haziness are indicative of glaucoma. Because the
child is younger than 3 years of age, it would be classified as infantile.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Feedback:
Presumptive signs include amenorrhea, nausea, breast tenderness, urinary frequency and fatigue. Abdominal enlargement and Braxton-Hicks contractions are probable signs of pregnancy. Fetal heart sounds are a positive sign of pregnancy.
