Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Guidelines for infant hearing screening recommend universal screening with an auditory brain stem response (ABR) or evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAE) test by 1 month of age. All the other answers rely on behavioral observation. Studies have shown that behavioral observations are not a reliable method of screening for hearing loss.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When nutrition is supplied by enteral solutions, the enteral infusion should be provided during the night. Removing the tube during the day can make feedings more tolerable. Meal time provides social stimulation so the parents should encourage the child to spend time with the family during routine meal times. The feedings should not be provided during regular meal times. Having the child stay in the bedroom during meal times with the family will not support the child's socialization needs. There is no way of knowing if enteral feedings will be a permanent method for this child to obtain nutrition going forward.
