Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Spastic cerebral palsy accounts for approximately 70-80 of cerebral palsy cases. Ataxic cerebral palsy accounts for 5-10 of cerebral palsy cases. Dystonic cerebral palsy accounts for 10-20 of cerebral palsy cases. Mixed cases account for 13 of cerebral palsy cases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Congenital hydrocephalus is characterized by enlargement of the cerebral ventricles. Increased, not decreased, CSF production would lead to hydrocephalus. Decreased resorption of CSF would lead to hydrocephalus, not increased CSF. An infant with congenital hydrocephalus would have increased head circumference.
