Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The Ortolani maneuver is a described test for a reducible dislocation. The Galeazzi test is a measurement of the length of the femurs that is done by comparing the height at the knees while they are flexed at 90 degrees. Trendelenburg test is used for an older child.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

While the basement membrane plays roles in adhering between skin layers and is a common site of immunoglobulin deposition and blister formation, it is not a major site of afferent nerve endings and consequent sensory transmission.
