Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The first sign of retinoblastoma is a white pupil. The red reflex is absent. Yellow sclera is a sign of jaundice, not retinoblastoma. Blue-tinged sclera is a sign of osteogenesis imperfecta, not retinoblastoma.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: A 24-hour urine collection is started after the child voids. That specimen is not saved, but all subsequent specimens in that 24-hour period should be collected. It would not be an accurate collection of 24 hours of urine if the collection began at 0700, bedtime, or when the order is noted.
