Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In the absence of severe birth defects and complications, the growth rate of the preterm newborn nears that of the term infant by about the second year.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The preterm infant, before 38 weeks, should be assessed for hypoglycemia because the infant's glycogen stores are not adequate.
