Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Ears that are low-set ears is a common assessment finding in newborns with the trisomy chromosome abnormalities. Short neck, bowed legs, and slanting of the palpebral fissure are less common findings in a newborn with a chromosomal disorder.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A A nuclear brain scan uses a radioisotope that accumulates where the blood-brain
barrier is defective.
B Echoencephalography identifies shifts in midline structures of the brain as a
result of intracranial lesions.
C A CT scan provides a visualization of the horizontal and vertical cross sections
of the brain at any axis.
D MRI permits visualization of morphologic features of target structures and
permits tissue discrimination that is unavailable with any other techniques.
