Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The anterior fontanel is diamond-shaped and measures from barely palpable to 4 to 5 cm. Neither of the fontanels is a circle or a square. The triangle is the shape of the posterior fontanel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The sagittal suture separates the parietal bones on top of the newborn's head. The frontal suture separates the frontal bones. The coronal suture is said to crown the head. There is no occipital suture. The lambdoid suture is at the margin of the parietal and occipital bones.
