Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
At the hearing level of 60 dB, the person will have difficulty with normal conversation. A person who can hear whispered words is not experiencing a hearing loss. The person who can only hear loud noises would have a severe hearing loss at the decibel level between 70 and 90 . The person who is able to hear all noises and sounds is not experiencing a hearing loss.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Color deficit is the inability to perceive color correctly. It occurs in 4 to 8 of boys because one of the sets of cones of the retina that perceive red, green, or blue is absent. It is important for the loss of color perception to be detected early so the child can learn changes in traffic signals or other color-dependent signs necessary for safety. The child who does not participate well in art class could be color blind. Since this is a condition that occurs in boys, the girls do not need to be assessed for color deficit. Color deficit is not associated with ear infections.
