Baby Randy has just been born to parents Paul and Carla. The neonatal nurse is asked by Paul when baby Randy will be able to distinguish his father’s voice. What should the neonatal nurse reply?
  1. 2 weeks
  2. 2 months.
  3. 4 months.
  4. 12 months.
Explanation
Answer: A - The neonatal nurse should reply to Paul that baby Randy will begin to distinguish his father’s voice at approximately 2 weeks of age. This is the appropriate time frame for most neonates for voice and speech recognition of their parents. If it is noticed that baby Randy is still not distinguishing his father’s voice after 4 weeks of age, then prompt attention must be arranged.
