Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should test for hip stability in the neonate by testing for the Ortolani sign. The other tests are not appropriate for testing hip stability.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
At 4 or 5 years old, a child usually feels comfortable on the examination table. Older infants and young children aged 6 months to 2 or 3 years should be positioned in the parent's lap.
