Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Failure to develop intelligible speech is not considered a problem by 12 months.
This would be considered a problem at 24 months.
B Infants who are deaf babble like hearing infants until approximately 5-6 months
of age, at which time babbling is noted to cease.
C The lack of a startle reflex indicates a problem with hearing.
D The child with hearing impairment uses gestures rather than vocalizations to
express desires at this age.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Palmar erythema, or palmar pruritus, occurs in early pregnancy and is probably caused by increased estrogen levels. Constant redness or itching of the palms can make a woman believe she has developed an allergy. This type of itching in early pregnancy is normal and is not caused by an allergy to fetal protein, reduced serum protein, or chorionic gonadotropin hormone secretion.
