Answer to Question 1

C
Jerky movements and scissoring of the legs are characteristic of spastic cerebral palsy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Cold water will not help colic. Use of gentle warmth or rocking or rubbing the baby's stomach may offer relief. Hot water bottles should not be used because of burn risk.
