Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
The newborn's glomeruli are small and have only one third of the blood circulation of an adult, and they are unable to effectively concentrate urine. The GI tract is active. The infant's sweat glands do not work effectively and allow very little fluid loss through sweat.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
All listed reflexes are present in the full-term newborn.
