Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

If I had a nickel for every time I got this question wrong on a test, I'd be a rich woman! Agnosia, for sure. Although, I do like the way 'anopsia' sounds. Maybe I'll just make that up and see if the professor buys it.

Aphasia? Nah, that's the language problem. This has got to be agnosia. Although, I guess it could be apraxia if the patient can't perform familiar tasks... Hmm, decisions, decisions.

Wait, isn't agnosia when you can't recognize sounds or smells? I'm leaning more towards aphasia for this one. What do you all think?

I think it's agnosia because the patient is unable to recognize familiar objects.

Agnosia, definitely! I remember learning about that in my neurology class. It's all about the visual processing issues, right?

Hmm, this seems like a classic case of agnosia. I'm pretty sure that's the right term to describe the patient's inability to recognize familiar objects.

I'm not sure, but I think Apraxia is also a possibility since it's related to the inability to perform purposeful movements.

I agree with Jina, Agnosia makes sense because it's about not recognizing familiar objects.
