Answer to Question 1

C
The neonate should exhibit spontaneous startle, Moro, sucking, chewing, smacking, and rooting reflexes. The absence of spontaneous reflex is considered abnormal. Jerky movements of the extremities, sucking and chewing actions, and fine tremors of the extremities are part of the first period of neurobehavioral activity in the neonate.

Answer to Question 2

2; 3
Rationale:
1. Spontaneous conception has a decreased risk for problems versus assisted reproductive technology.
2. There is an increased risk of fetal anomalies and an increase in long-term disabilities due to the premature nature of multiple-gestation births.
3. There is an increased risk of fetal anomalies and an increase in long-term disabilities due to the premature nature of multiple-gestation births.
4. Primiparous women have an increased risk of complications.
