Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Leopold's maneuvers are often performed before assessing the fetal heart rate (FHR). These maneuvers help identify the best location to obtain the FHR. A Nitrazine or ferning test can be performed to determine the status of the fetal membranes. Dilation and effacement are best determined by vaginal examination. Assessment of fetal position is more accurate with vaginal examination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Signs of inborn errors of metabolism include jaundice, poor feeding, and metabolic acidosis. Strabismus and acrocyanosis are normal findings in the newborn.
