What is characteristic of a neonate's vision?

  • A. Pupils react to light
  • B. Tear glands function
  • C. Blink reflex is absent
  • D. Ciliary muscles are mature
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Pupils react to light.' Newborns' pupils do react to light, indicating that the visual pathway is functioning. However, a neonate's vision is still developing, and they can only focus on objects close to their face. Choice B is incorrect because tear glands are functional at birth. Choice C is incorrect because the blink reflex is present in neonates and helps protect their eyes. Choice D is incorrect as neonates' ciliary muscles are not fully developed.
