Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Prematurity, postmaturity, and low birth weight can be causes of cognitive impairment in newborns. Physiological jaundice and large for gestational age are not associated causes of cognitive impairment in newborns.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
When discussing hearing impairment in children, the nurse should include information about differences in hearing losses, such as with a slight hearing loss, the child is usually unaware of a hearing difficulty, and with a severe loss, the child may hear a loud noise if it is nearby. An infant with a hearing loss may lack the startle response, and a hearing impaired child may avoid social interaction. Children with a sensorineural hearing loss would not benefit from a hearing aid. Identification of a hearing loss is imperative in the first 3 to 6 months to facilitate language and educational development for children.
