Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Immature emotional behavior would be seen most frequently in children with hearing impairments because the inability to hear affects the socialization process and causes social problems for the child, inhibiting normal development. Self-stimulatory actions, inattention, vacant stare, head tilt, or forward thrust are typical behaviors of visually impaired children.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
To test the trigeminal nerve, the nurse would note the strength of the infant's suck on a pacifier, thumb, or bottle. The olfactory nerve is not assessed in infants and young children. The facial nerve is assessed by noting the symmetry of facial expressions. For the infant, this would be assessed during spontaneous crying or smiling. The accessory nerve is assessed when the infant is in the sitting position and symmetry of the head position is noted.
