Answer:

The correct answer is- the child is not responding or eating well.

Explanation:

Lack of responsiveness and not eating properly establishes these are the signs that the child has an infection. There might be some inflammation along with the shunt tract.

Shunt malfunction is characterized by the fontanel bulging or tense, the rapid reaction time of pupil and high pitch cry, which is causing an increase in intracranial pressure so it can not be a symptom.

Thus, the correct answer is - the child is not responding or eating well.
