Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A screening procedure to determine eye alignment is the cover test. The cover test is not used to assess the ears, nose, or neck.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
One of the most important health assessment and promotion measures for children is to establish their immunization status is up to date. The nurse should teach parents about the importance of having their children immunized and the need to be able to describe the record of immunizations a child has received. If gaps are present in a child's number of immunizations, remind the child's primary care provider about this lack in protection and prepare to administer the necessary vaccines. The child's immunizations begin up to date indicate that the nurse's instruction has been effective. Having the child immunize within a year might expose the child to pathogens than could be avoided. Children will cry when receiving injections. This is not a valid reason to postpone immunization. The health care provider needs to understand the importance of childhood immunizations to be received at the correct age and time.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
