Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Gravida refers to the number of pregnancies, and para refers to the number of children. One pregnancy was with twins.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Until the age of 12 months, the infant should be assessed for Ortolani sign. If Ortolani sign is present, then it could indicate the presence of a dislocated hip. The other tests are not appropriate for a 9-month-old child.
