Which of the following practitioners is most likely to be of immediate assistance in the first 24 hours following delivery of an infant with a cleft lip?

A) Lactation consultant
B) Respiratory therapist
C) Occupational therapist
D) Social worker


Ans: A
Feedback:
Infants with a cleft lip typically have difficulty with feeding, and the assistance of a lactation consultant may be of help in establishing feeding patterns. Oxygenation is not a typical problem, while activities of daily living and assistive devices are not relevant considerations. While social work is often of assistance when a child is born with a congenital condition, a cleft lip has fewer implications than most other inherited disorders.
