Answer to Question 1

Feedback
A An infant has about 50 mL of CSF compared with 150 mL in an adult.
B Papilledema rarely occurs in infancy because open fontanels and sutures can
expand in the presence of ICP.
C The brain of the term infant is two thirds the weight of an adult's brain.
D Peripheral nerves are not completely myelinated at birth. As myelinization
progresses, so does the child's coordination and fine muscle movements.
