A. Inspect pupils for size, shape, and equality. Normal pupils are round, clear, and equal in size and shape.
C and D. Test pupillary reflexes. To test reaction to light, dim room lights. If lights cannot be dimmed, cup hand over eye to temporarily shield the light. As client looks straight ahead, move penlight from side of client's face and direct light on pupil. Observe pupillary response of both eyes, noting briskness and equality of reflex. Darkened room normally ensures brisk response of pupils to light. Pupil that is illuminated constricts. Pupil in other eye should constrict equally (consensual light reflex).

Answer to Question 2

A
When preserved with citrate, phosphate, and dextrose a unit of blood has a shelf life of 21 days (unfrozen).
