Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
With cold stress, metabolism of brown fat releases fatty acids, which can lead to metabolic acidosis. If excess glucose is metabolized in an attempt to maintain body temperature, the infant may become hypoglycemic. Acrocyanosis is normal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The most likely explanation for the low temperature is heat loss by evaporation, which occurs when wet surfaces are exposed to air.
