Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

While caput succedaneum, cephalhematoma, and head coning are all frequently able to resolve independently, a brachial plexus injury is likely to require treatment and rehabilitation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Vitamin B12 deficiency also can cause neurologic abnormalities such as peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tremor), ataxia (loss of coordination of muscle movements), and even dementia. Lack of hydrochloric acid secretions results in impaired gastric absorption. Loss of parietal cells causes a decrease in HCl acid production.
