Rationale:
1. Fever can be a sign of shunt malfunction.
2. Vomiting can be a sign of shunt malfunction, and might indicate increased intracranial pressure.
3. Dizziness is not necessarily seen with a shunt malfunction, and can be difficult to assess in a 3-year-old.
4. Fontanels are closed in a 3-year-old.
5. Personality change can be indicative of a shunt malfunction.
