Passage / Scenario
6-month-old infantA nurse in a pediatric clinic is assessing a 6-month-old infant. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of a visual impairment?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because at 6 months, infants should be able to fixate and follow an object. Failure to do so may indicate a visual impairment. Reacting to bright light (A) is a normal response. A symmetrical corneal light reflex (B) is a normal finding. The presence of a red reflex (D) is also normal.
