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.

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.
