QUESTION
Are these 1. and 2. statements TRUE or FALSE?
Strabismus is noted on an eye exam where the left eye is deviated outward and the right eye
seems to be fixated on an object you are holding in front of the patient. You perform a cover test.
1. When covering the left eye, you would see no movement in the uncovered eye.
2. When covering the right eye, you would see the left uncovered eye move toward fixation on
the object.
An alternating cover test is mentioned in Hay, but not explained. This test can be performed on a
patient whose eyes seem to be well aligned. Move the cover laterally back and forth between the
eyes. If the eyes remain fixated on the object, this would be considered a normal test. If you see
movement of the eyes, this is an abnormal test and should be referred.
(MODULE 1)
Answer:
Exotropia is a type of strabismus in which the eye is deviated outward.
1. True, when covering the left eye, you would see no movement in the uncovered eye
(unaffected eye).
2. True, the eye will move toward fixation on the object in exotropia (Hay p. 456)

QUESTION
How would you dose each of the following medications for a diagnosis of AOM in adults and
children? Amoxicillin? Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole ? Ceftriaxone ? (MODULE 1)
Answer:
Peds dosing for AOM:
Amoxicillin (FIRST LINE CHOICE!): 80-90 mg/kg/day divided Q12H
Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole: 8-12 mg TMP/kg/day (divided Q21H (Sanford p.
241)
Ceftriaxone: 50-100 mg/kg Q24H (Sanford p.241)-IV/IM Adult dosing for AOM
Amoxicillin: 1 gm PO Q8H for 5-7 days (McPhee p. 206)
Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole: Standard dose: 1 DS tab PO BID (160
TMP/800SMX) (Sanford p. 131)
Ceftriaxone: 1-2 gm once daily (IM/IV) (Sanford p. 120)
Notes: Dosage of Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole, for children the dosage is 8-12mg (of the
TMP component)/kg/day divided q12hours x 10 days. Not recommended for children < 2mo.
Used when severe allergy to PCN for susceptible S. pneumonia and H. flu infections. Another
obvious choice for a child with a severe allergy to PCN would be a Macrolide antibiotic which
has more coverage for common organisms causing AOM than Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole.
