Answer to Question 1

C
By 9 months of age an infant will actively search for an object that is out of sight. Four-month-old infants are not cognitively capable of searching out objects hidden from their view. Infants at this developmental level do not pursue hidden objects. Six-month-old infants have not developed the ability to perceive objects as permanent and do not search out objects hidden from their view. Twenty-month-old infants actively pursue objects not in their view and are capable of recalling the location of an object not in their view. They first look for hidden objects around the age of 9 months.

Answer to Question 2

C
Early identification of hypothyroidism is basic to the prevention of mental retardation in the child. Community referral is appropriate after a diagnosis is made. With early identification and treatment with thyroid hormone replacement, mental retardation is prevented. Facilitation of parentchild bonding is a consideration for all newborn infants.
