Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In a 24-month-old child with hydrocephalus, later signs of the condition include frontal bossing, which is the prominent, protruding forehead caused by the enlargement of the frontal bone. This is a characteristic feature of chronic hydrocephalus. Bulging fontanels, separated sutures, and dilated scalp veins are typically earlier signs of hydrocephalus seen in younger infants before the cranial sutures close. As the child ages, frontal bossing becomes more apparent due to prolonged intracranial pressure.

I'm going with C) Slander. The nurse is bad-mouthing the doctor, and that's a clear case of defamation.

Hmm, D) Malpractice? The nurse isn't the one providing medical care, so that doesn't seem right.

Haha, B) Assault? Really? I think the nurse would need to physically attack the doctor for that one.

I think it's a tough call between A) Libel and C) Slander. The nurse could have written it down, which would make it libel.

Definitely C) Slander. The nurse is making a verbal statement that could damage the doctor's reputation.

But what if the statement was true? Would that still be considered slander?
