Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Massaging the nasolacrimal duct can cause it to open and drain. Teaching the parents how to do this would be part of the plan of care. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction is not infectious. Applying hot moist compresses to the eye is an intervention for conjunctivitis. Many times nasolacrimal duct obstruction resolves on its own, so there would be no need for a specialist's care.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
All pregnant women should be screened for group B streptococcus infection at 35 to 37 weeks' gestation.
