Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. The nurse evaluating children for speech or language dysfunction should begin the evaluation with a hearing test or tests to see if hearing ability is normal. The link between hearing loss and poor communication has been well documented.
B Incorrect. An evaluation for speech or language dysfunction should not begin with language screening tests such as the Denver Articulation Screening Examination. The child's hearing ability needs to be evaluated first. If it is normal, then a language screening test should be administered.

D Incorrect. An evaluation for speech or language dysfunction should not begin with the history of childhood illnesses and immunizations. The child's hearing ability needs to be evaluated first.
