Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Glomerulonephritis usually occurs in children as an immune complex disease after infection with group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. Acute glomerulonephritis is not caused by group B streptococci, rhinoviruses, or Staphylococcus viridans.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The Allen figures chart is reliable for assessing visual acuity for a preschool child. The Snellen chart requires that the child has a good knowledge of the alphabet. This is not an expectation for a 4-year-old child. The Ishihara and CVTME charts are designed to assess color vision discrimination and not visual acuity.
