Answer to Question 1

B
An appropriate response is one in which the doctor refers the son to an audiologist and speech pathologist. By 18 months children should have a three-word vocabulary. Adequate hearing is essential for the development of speech. Hearing and language should be tested and a referral to an audiologist and speech pathologist is indicated. The nurse should not provide inappropriate reassurance that her son will be fine. He needs to be referred for further evaluation as this is not normal speech development for an 18-month-old child. The nurse is not qualified to offer a diagnosis to the mother of this patient on the basis of the limited information provided. Further tested and a referral are indicated for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

A
After hyphema, there is a risk for the development of glaucoma. Strabismus, diplopia, and astigmatism are not related to hyphema.
