Continue the examination because a bruit is a normal finding for this age
During an examination of a 3-year-old child, the nurse notices a bruit over the left temporal area.
The nurse should:
Temporal arteritis
During an examination, the nurse finds that a patient's left temporal artery is tortuous and feels

Head circumference greater than chest circumference
Fontanels firm and slightly concave

The nurse is assessing a 1-month-old infant at his well-baby checkup. Which assessment findings

Is expected.
When examining the eye, the nurse notices that the patient's eyelid margins approximate

The image formed on the retina is upside down and reversed from its actual appearance in

The patient can read at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can read at 30 feet.
A patient's vision is recorded as 20/30 when the Snellen eye chart is used. The nurse interprets
