Rationale for Correct Choices Aspiration: The submucous cleft palate and bifid uvula increase the risk of formula or saliva entering the airway during feeding. Interventions such as proper positioning and thickened feeds help reduce aspiration risk. Pneumonia: Repeated aspiration or impaired clearance of secretions can lead to lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia. Monitoring respiratory status and providing prompt interventions are essential. Hearing loss: Infants with cleft palate often have occluded Eustachian tubes, which can cause recurrent otitis media and subsequent conductive hearing loss. Early identification and referral to audiology are recommended. Rationale for Incorrect Choices Cognitive delay: While cleft palate may affect speech development, it does not directly cause cognitive delay. The infant’s neurodevelopment appears age-appropriate. Poor vision: There is no clinical or physiological reason presented in the client's data to suggest a risk of poor vision. This is a non-related finding.
