A 2-year-old girl has excessive tearing and corneal haziness. The nurse knows that these symptoms may indicate
a. Viral conjunctivitis
b. Paralytic strabismus
c. Congenital cataract
d. Infantile glaucoma
D
Feedback
A Discharge is noted with conjunctivitis. Corneal haziness is not a symptom of
conjunctivitis.
B Paralytic strabismus is caused by weakness or paralysis of one or more the
extraocular muscles. Neither tearing nor corneal haziness are symptoms of
paralytic strabismus.
C A congenital cataract will cause an opacity, but not excessive tearing.
D Excessive tearing and corneal haziness are indicative of glaucoma. Because the
child is younger than 3 years of age, it would be classified as "infantile."
