The teaching plan for a 7-year-old boy with color deficiency should include which instruction?
a. Buy only one color of clothing to ensure the child's ability to match items himself.
b. Patching the weaker eye will improve his color vision.
c. Teach him an alternate way to distinguish between the colors of traffic signals.
d. Botulism toxin drops will need to be administered every 2 months to improve color vision.
C
The child who cannot distinguish colors of warning signals must be taught an alternative way to identify these signals. Clothes may be labeled or organized so the child can identify them. They do not have to be purchased in only one color. There is no cure, treatment, or correction for color blindness. Because the eye is not weak, patching will not correct the color deficiency. The child can be taught adaptive measures to compensate for the condition.
