Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Children with cognitive impairment have a deficit in discrimination, which means that concrete ideas are much easier to learn effectively than abstract ideas. Therefore, demonstration is preferable to verbal explanation, and the nurse should direct learning toward mastering a skill rather than understanding the scientific principles underlying a procedure. Demonstrating how to throw the ball is the best teaching strategy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If a 2-year-old child fails to respond consistently to sounds, it is an indication for referral to a specialist regarding communication impairment. At age 3 years, the child failing to use sentences of three words would be an indication for referral; impaired sentence structure would be seen in a 5-year-old child and poor voice quality in an older child who has a communication impairment.
