Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C
With the Ballard assessment system, the infant examination yields a score of neuromuscular and physical maturity that can be extrapolated onto a corresponding age scale to reveal the infant's gestational age in weeks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
For infants, the normal heart rate is between 120 and 160 beats/minute. An infant who is less than 38 completed weeks' gestational age is considered preterm and should be assessed more frequently. An increased respiratory rate (60-70 breaths/minute) may represent a transitional period of adjustment to extrauterine life. However, the development of other symptoms such as nasal flaring, grunting, or intercostal retractions is indicative of respiratory distress.
