Prevention of hearing impairment in children is a major goal for the nurse. This can be achieved through which intervention?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Childhood immunizations can eliminate the possibility of acquired sensorineural hearing loss from rubella, mumps, or measles encephalitis. Assessing a newborn for hearing loss, answering parents' questions about hearing aids, and participating in hearing screening in the community are interventions to screen for the presence of hearing loss or deal with an identified loss, not prevention.
