Answer to Question 1

C
The instructor would know the student is correct if the student responded between 9 and 12 months of age. This delay allows time for the anatomic changes that normally occur in the palate contour (increase of the palate arch). Early surgery of a cleft palate seems to have a negative effect on facial growth, but the trend is toward closure during infancy because improved speech results.

Answer to Question 2

A
