Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
The Allen figures chart is reliable for assessing the visual acuity of a preschool child. The Snellen chart requires that the child has a good knowledge of the alphabet; this is not a realistic expectation for a 4-year-old child. The Ishihara and Color Vision Testing Made Easy (CVTME) charts are designed to assess color vision discrimination, not visual acuity.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Public Law No. 108-377, Asthmatic Schoolchildren's Treatment and Health Management Act of 2004, was passed by the U.S. Congress. This law is intended to ensure that students with severe allergies can carry prescribed medications such as an EpiPen with them at all times. The nurse must contact the school and inform them of this law so that the girl will be allowed to carry her EpiPen at all times. The school staff should be trained to recognize anaphylaxis, there should be an action plan on file, and the girl should wear a medical alert bracelet as well. However, the most important action is to notify school authorities of the law.
