Answer to Question 1

P
Head circumference either equals or exceeds chest circumference. A small head (microce-phaly) may be caused by rubella or toxoplasmosis during fetal development.
Nurses who care for newborns are responsible for assessment of their physical condition. An understanding of the newborn's normal adaptation to extrauterine life will enable the nurse to recognize deviations from normal.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback

prevents hypoglycemia by eating a snack.
B Participation in sports is not contraindicated for a child with type 1 diabetes.
C The child with type 1 diabetes may participate in sports activities regardless of
climate.

before exercise will decrease the risk of hypoglycemia.
