Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An immediate concern for the infant with noncommunicating hydrocephalus is interstitial edema. Neither metabolic, vasogenic, nor ischemic edema is observed as a result of noncommunicating hydrocephalus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Paratonia is manifested by resistance to passive movement that varies in direct proportion to force applied. Spasticity is manifested by a gradual increase in tone causing increased resistance until tone suddenly reduces. Rigidity is manifested by muscle resistance to passive movement of a rigid limb that is uniform in both flexion and extension throughout the motion. Dystonia is manifested by sustained involuntary twisting movement.
