A6-month-old child developed kernicterus immediately after birth. which of the following tests should be done to determine whether or not this child has developed any sequelae to the illness?
a. blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine.
b. alkaline phosphotase and bilirubin.
c. hearing and vision assessments.
d. peak expiratory flow and blood gas assessments.

C. Hearing and vision assessments.

Explanation:

(Because the CNS may have been damaged by the high bilirubin levels, testing of the senses as well as motor and cognitive assessments are appropriate. Kernicterus is the syndrome that develops when a neonate is exposed to high levels of bilirubin over time. The bilirubin crosses the blood brain barrier, often leading to toxic changes in the CNS. The term sequelae refers to the disorders that result after an individual has experienced a disease or injury).
