Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 2. Remove the baby's blanket and clothing so that the infant is wearing only a diaper and T-shirt. Babies feed better when they are not bundled, and they can achieve better attachment without the bulk of extra clothing and blankets. Swaddling the newborn has the opposite effect.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 3. The cervical exam is not part of Leopold maneuvers. Abdominal palpation is the only technique used for Leopold maneuvers.
