Following parental teaching, the nurse is evaluating the parent's understanding of environmental control for their child's asthma management. Teaching has been understood by the parents if they state:
 
  1. We will replace the carpet in our child's bedroom with tile.
   2. We're glad the dog can continue to sleep in our child's room.
   3. We'll be sure to use the fireplace often to keep the house warm in the winter.
   4. We'll keep the plants in our child's room dusted.

Question 2

The child has been admitted to the hospital unit newly diagnosed with retinoblastoma. What would the nurse expect to see when examining the child's eye?
 
  1. A white reflex
