In this scenario, the outcome is that the child\u2019s caregivers will assist their child in communicating their needs. This outcome is met when the caregivers state that they have met with a speech therapist and plan to see them weekly, they will encourage their child to socialize and are playing games with their child that allow them to practice speech skills. There is no evidence that their child will never be able to communicate again, therefore this statement does not indicate the outcome was met.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;________________________<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Want more NCLEX\u00ae-style practice questions?
