Answer to Question 1

D
Smoke inhalation injury is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Manifestations might not show up until 24 hours postexposure.

Answer to Question 2

A
Abnormal flattening of the skull in infants may result from placing the baby in the same position for several hours every day. A large head in an adolescent or adult may be associated with acromegaly, a disorder associated with excess growth hormone. In infants and children, a head that is growing disproportionately faster than the body may be a sign of hydrocephalus, which is fluid collection in the cavity within the brain. Irregular jaw movement and cracking of the jaw in adults may indicate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.
