Answer to Question 1

A
The blood pressure cuff should cover two-thirds of the child's upper arm to get an accurate reading. A cuff that covers more than two-thirds of the child's upper arm will result in a false low reading. A cuff that covers less than two-thirds of the child's upper arm will result in a false high reading.

Answer to Question 2

C
A high-pitched persistent cry is one of the many manifestations of infant drug withdrawal. The infant undergoing drug withdrawal may lose weight or fail to gain weight. Respiratory alkalosis and respiratory distress are manifestations of withdrawal. An infant undergoing drug withdrawal would have hypertonus, hyperreflexia, and hyperactivity.
