Answer to Question 1

A
Untreated amblyopia causes the child to lose binocular vision, which may impair depth perception. Amblyopia, or decreased vision in the deviated eye, results from strabismus. Color deficiency and ptosis, or dropping of the eyelid, are not the result of untreated amblyopia.

Answer to Question 2

D
One of the initial observations for triage is respiratory rate and effort. Grunting is a sign of hypoxemia and represents the body's attempt to improve oxygenation by generating positive end-expiratory pressure. Nasal discharge would indicate that the child has a respiratory condition but does not mean the child needs immediate attention. A productive cough is not a finding that would indicate the child requires immediate attention. An oxygen saturation of 95 is a normal finding.
