Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Actions to be encouraged to help the stuttering child include setting a good example by speaking clearly, giving the child plenty of time to finish sentences, and looking directly at the child while he or she is speaking. Asking the child to stop and start over and promising a reward for proper speech are actions to be avoided with stuttering children.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Risk criteria for sensorineural hearing impairment in infants include bacterial meningitis; a case of measles; and administration of ototoxic medications (e.g., gentamicin, tobramycin, kanamycin, streptomycin), including but not limited to the aminoglycosides, for more than 5 days. Cat scratch disease and a childhood case of chicken pox are not risk factors that can cause a sensorineural hearing impairment.
