Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Female sex, a history of breech presentation, and congenital skeletal abnormalities are all correlated with DDH. Respiratory emergencies, delivery by caesarian section, advanced age of the mother, Down syndrome, and drug exposure are not noted risk factors for DDH.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Ninety-five percent of people with untreated SLE have high ANA levels. However, ANA is not specific for SLE. The anti-DNA antibody test is more specific for the diagnosis of SLE. Hemoglobin may be low if the patient has severe anemia, but it is not specific for SLE. C-reactive protein will show an inflammatory response but again not specific for SLE.
