Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Yellow discoloration to the skin indicates jaundice, and should be reported, although it is anticipated in most preterm infants due to their immature liver function. The preterm infant's body is normally covered in fine hair called lanugo with wrinkled skin and little cartilage, allowing the ear to be easily folded or creased.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Simple carbohydrates are water-soluble.
