Answer to Question 1

A
Vomiting is a sign of increased intracranial pressure and should be reported immediately. The other symptoms are normal for a patient with spina bifida.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. When a caregiver has tried standard nipples, preemie nipples, and all kinds of special nipples without much success, the best plan is not to teach feeding with a spoon. If the child had surgery for repair of a cleft palate, hard objects should not be allowed in the child's mouth until healing has adequately progressed.
B Incorrect. When a caregiver has tried standard nipples, preemie nipples, and all kinds of special nipples without much success, the best plan is not to teach feeding with a sippy cup. This cup requires stronger, more forceful sucking than any nipple.
C Correct. When a caregiver has tried standard nipples, preemie nipples, and all kinds of special nipples without much success, the best plan is to teach feeding with an Asepto syringe with a rubber tip.
D Incorrect. When a caregiver has tried standard nipples, preemie nipples, and all kinds of special nipples without much success, the best plan is not to teach feeding with a special straw for drawing fluid up. If the infant cannot successfully feed with special nipples, a special straw will probably not be effective.
