Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, F
Soft tissue injuries that can occur at birth include petechiae, retinal hemorrhage, and subconjunctival hemorrhage. Facial paralysis and cephalhematoma are head injuries that occur at birth, and a subdural hematoma is considered a neurologic injury related to the birthing process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Myelomeningocele is one of the most common causes of neuropathic bladder dysfunction among children. Plagiocephaly is the flattening of a side of the child's head. This is not associated with neuropathic bladder. Children with meningocele usually do not have neuropathic bladder. Craniosynostosis is the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures. It is not associated with neuropathic bladder.
