Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The scrotum usually appears relatively large and should be pink in white neonates and dark brown in neonates of color. Rugae should be well formed and should cover the scrotal sac. There should not be bulging, edema, or discoloration. Testes should be palpable in the scrotal sac and feel firm and smooth and be of equal size on both sides of the scrotal sac.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Cocaine use can be detected by urinalysis because the metabolites of cocaine can be detected in urine up to 1 week after use. Electrocardiogram, complete blood count, and stool test for occult blood will not confirm the use of cocaine in the pregnant patient.
