Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Barely audible voice quality, vocal pitch inappropriate for age, and distortion of sounds after age 7 years are indications for a referral regarding a communication impairment. Intonation noted while speaking and maintaining a rhythm while speaking are normal characteristics of speech.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
To facilitate lipreading, the nurse should plan to face the child directly, speak at eye level, keep sentences short, and establish eye contact and show interest. The nurse should plan to speak at a slow rate, not a fast one.
