Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Alterations in proprioception are manifested by a sensation that the room is spinning, not head-ache, light sensitivity, or loss of feeling in the lips.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Infants cannot conserve heat; thus, they have a problem with thermoregulation because of their small size. Infants are unable to shiver, do have the ability to sweat, have an increased metabolic rate, and have little subcutaneous fat.
