Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A dysfluency is an interruption in the natural flow of speaking. An example is the child who stutters. Stuttering is normal for preschool children because, at this age, the ability to understand is more developed than vocabulary and command of the language. Stuttering in school-age children requires evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When looking for a job, the nurse should set a goal for number of contacts per day and spend at least 5 hours a day in the search. The nurse should use networking skills to find unadvertised jobs and classified ads for advertised jobs. The nurse should also prepare for interviews with appropriate dress and a plan for answering difficult questions.
