The nurse is completing the health history of a 6-month-old baby with retinoblastoma with the child's parents. Which symptom should the nurse expect that the parents have observed?
A) One pupil appears white.
B) The infant tugs and pulls at one ear.
C) The infant's eye appears to be protruding.
D) The infant always keeps her eyes tightly closed.
A
Feedback:
On examination, the child's pupil of the affected eye appears white because the red reflex is absent. Some might describe this symptom as a "cat's eye.". Ear tugging, eye protrusion, and keeping the eyes closed are not manifestations of retinoblastoma.
