Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Clinical manifestations of myopia include excessive eye rubbing, head tilting, difficulty reading, headaches, and dizziness. Strabismus, astigmatism, and hyperopia have other clinical manifestations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hesitancy and dysfluency should be considered a normal part of speech development. An important approach is to allow the child plenty of time to speak. Promising rewards for proper speech places additional pressure on the child. Encouraging the child to take it easy and go slow when stuttering draws attention to the dysfluency. The child needs to complete a sentence and thought without being interrupted.
