Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Due to the immaturity of the gastrointestinal system, newborns and young infants often grunt, strain, or cry while attempting to have a bowel movement. This is not of concern unless the stool is hard and dry. Stool color and texture may change depending on the foods that the infant is ingesting. Iron supplements may cause the stool to appear black or very dark green.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Blood pressure measurement begins to be a part of routine assessment at 3 years of age. The preschool E-chart is used for vision screening at this age. Walking gait and standing height measurement will be introduced in future assessments.
