Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Insulin will not cross the placenta, but high glucose levels do. Therefore, it is imperative that the mother control glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Acrocyanosis is the slightly blue appearance of the hands and feet that is caused by poor circulation. It can last for 7 to 10 days in the newborn.
