Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
After a tympanostomy, care should be taken to avoid getting water in the ears.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Indicators of strabismus include covering one eye to see, tilting the head to see, and missing objects in attempts to pick them up. Although headaches may be associated with amblyopia, this symptom is too vague to point suspicion to any disorder.
