Answer to Question 1

Female pelvis does not reach adult size and dimensions until 3 years after menarche.
Although infants of adolescent mothers may be low birth weight or small for gestational age, the maternal pelvis may still be too small for vaginal delivery.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A An infant has about 50 mL of CSF compared with 150 mL in an adult.
B Papilledema rarely occurs in infancy because open fontanels and sutures can
expand in the presence of ICP.
C The brain of the term infant is two thirds the weight of an adult's brain.
D Peripheral nerves are not completely myelinated at birth. As myelinization
progresses, so does the child's coordination and fine muscle movements.
