The nurse suspects that an infant has a visual disorder caused by abnormal musculature. To detect this disorder, the nurse would perform:
1. A cover/uncover test.
2. An ophthalmologic exam.
3. A vision acuity exam.
4. A pupil-reaction-to-light test.
1
Rationale:
1. The cover/uncover test can detect abnormal musculature of the eye that can lead to asymmetric eye movement. The cover/uncover test can be used to test for eye muscle weakness in children. Unexpected movement of one eye indicates a muscle imbalance.
2. An ophthalmologic eye exam allows the practitioner to view the internal structures of the eye, not abnormal musculature.
3. Vision acuity is used to test for myopia.
4. Pupil-reaction-to-light tests neurological status.
