Feedback
1. Unknown etiologies of unsteady balance are a sign of inner ear infections.
2. Since the mother feels the child is healthy and does not exhibit any other neurological symptoms, a doctor's appointment is advisable.
3. A child would be exhibiting more symptoms than unsteady balance if he was taking a substance.
4. The concern should be addressed and an appointment made to find the cause of the unsteady balance.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
The traditional members of a child guidance team are a psychiatrist, pediatrician, psychologist, nurse, and social worker. A dietitian usually is not on the treatment team.
