Question 1 of 5
At what age is it generally recommended to perform palatoplasty for a child with a cleft palate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 6-12 months. Performing palatoplasty within this age range is recommended because it allows for optimal speech development. By repairing the cleft palate early, around 6-12 months of age, the child has a better chance of developing normal speech patterns. Repairing the palate at this stage also helps in preventing feeding difficulties and ear infections associated with cleft palate.
Choices A and B are too early for optimal speech development, while choice D is too late and may lead to speech issues.
Choices E, F, and G are not applicable. Overall, the 6-12 month range strikes a balance between early intervention and allowing the child to grow and develop before the surgery.
