CMN 571 - Test Review Questions and
Answers Graded A+

As a Nurse practitioner caring for young children, how would you perform the vision
portion of the health supervision assessment? How would you screen this young child?
what is normal? what is not? - answer Birth to around 3 years of age should include:
+Assessing movement, alignment, pupils, and red reflex.
-- Starting around 2 months their eyes should begin tracking movement.
-- Starting around 3 months, the corneal light reflex can be performed to assess for
misalignment.
-- Cover testing begins at 6 months.

At 3 years, a formal visual acuity test should be completed (with either a tumbling E
chart or picture chart). Children who do not coorperate with test should be reassessed
in 1 month - if still does not cooperate with test, they need to be refered.

REFER - All preterm infants, those with down syndrome, and those with family history of
amblyopia, strabismus, retinoblastoma, and retinal degeneration.

Abnormalities include:
+ abnormal red reflex
+ poor fixation on objects at 3 months
+ asymmetry in light reflex
+ presence of refixation movement in cover test
+ vision acuity less than 20/40 for kids aged 3-5 years (or a 2 line difference between
the eyes).

Dr. Montgomery
Please review Hay page 233 table 9-3 (recommended vision screening in the primary
care office). It is also important to know the minimal appropriate visual acuity when
testing a young child. At three years old formal visual acuity needs to be tested, and you
would expect to find a minimal acceptable acuity of 20/40. This information would be
important to review again (hint hint)
