Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
Photophobia, or intolerance to light, is another symptom of bacterial meningitis. Fixed and dilated pupils are a symptom of head trauma; this warrants prompt intervention. Frequent urination is a symptom of a type I Arnold-Chiari malformation. Sunset eyes indicates increased intracranial pressure, which is typical of hydrocephalus.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
The nurse would focus measures on prevention of hemorrhagic stroke. Drug interactions are a risk for children who are treated with combinations of anticonvulsants for epilepsy. Children with hydrocephalus are at an increased risk for developmental disabilities. Respiratory paralysis is a risk of botulism, which typically affects infants less than 6 months of age.
