Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Phototherapy uses daylight and cool white, blue, or special blue fluorescent light tubes. These lights are the most effective form of phototherapy and are placed around and above the newborn. The eyes and genitals of the newborn are always covered to prevent tissue and retinal damage. The hands and ears of the newborn are not damaged by phototherapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Risk factors for a brachial plexus injury include LGA or macrosomic newborns, newborns with a diabetic mother, instrument delivery, prolonged labor, shoulder dystocia, and multiparity.
