Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Having an adult family member translate for the hearing-impaired parents is a good choice as the family member is unlikely to upset family relationships as would be the case in translating between spoken languages and cultures. It is not unique for interpreters, whether for spoken languages or American Sign Language, to ensure that the parents can read printed materials. Likewise, it is not unique for interpreters to need adequate time to interpret the nurse's comments and the parents' responses, and they cannot be expected to know medical terminology.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Low-set ears are associated with numerous genetic dysmorphisms. Additionally, the mother's age during pregnancy is a risk factor for genetic disorders. Feeding problems could have been due to low birthweight, prematurity, or a variety of other reasons. The nasal congestion may be a cold. The wheezing could be bronchiolitis or asthma.
