Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Community referral is appropriate after a diagnosis is made.
B With early identification and treatment, serious complications such as
intellectual impairment are prevented.
C Early identification of hypothyroidism is basic to the prevention of intellectual
impairment in the child.
D Although electrolyte imbalances could occur with some of the inborn errors of
metabolism, this is not the priority outcome, nor would the newborn screen
detect electrolyte imbalances.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The patient who is from a culture that has a different time orientation than the dominant culture will have difficulty adhering to time expectations. The patient not arriving for the diagnostic test at the scheduled time does not mean that the patient is confused. It is inconsequential if the patient does or does not wear a wrist watch. There is no enough information to determine if the patient is from a culture that focuses on the past and not the future.
