A Although it is impossible to predict with complete accuracy the growth and de-velopment potential of each preterm infant, certain measurable factors predict normal growth and development. The preterm infant experiences catch-up body growth during the first 2 to 3 years of life. The growth and developmental mi-lestones are corrected for gestational age until the child is approximately 2 years old.
B This statement is inaccurate. Development will need to be evaluated over time.
C The age of a preterm newborn is corrected by adding the gestational age and the postnatal age. The infant's responses are evaluated accordingly against the norm expected for the corrected age of the infant.
D The growth and developmental milestones are corrected for gestational age until the child is approximately 2 years old.
Answer to Question 2

Rationale:
1. The child with a high temperature, lethargy, irritability, poor skin perfusion, hypoventilation or hyperventilation, and cyanosis is described as having a toxic appearance.
2. The child has a high fever, but feverish is not the best, most comprehensive description of the child's condition.
3. The term flushed is incorrect because it indicates a reddish appearance to the skin. The child has pale skin, which would be a white appearance to the skin.
4. The child might be tired, but tired is not the best, most comprehensive description of the child's condition.
