Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The anterior fontanelle is diamond shaped and located at the junction of the two parietal and two frontal bones. It should not be raised or sunken, and it closes between 12 and 18 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The rooting reflex causes the infant's head to turn in the direction of anything that touches the cheek in anticipation of food.
