The nurse suspects that an infant has a visual disorder caused by abnormal musculature. Which test will the nurse perform to detect this disorder?
1. A cover/uncover test
2. An ophthalmologic exam
3. A vision-acuity exam
4. A pupil-reaction-to-light test
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The cover/uncover test can detect abnormal musculature of the eye that can lead to asymmetric eye movement. An ophthalmologic eye exam allows the practitioner to view the internal structures of the eye, not abnormal musculature. A vision acuity test is used to test for myopia. A pupil-reaction-to-light test evaluates neurological status.
