Answer to Question 1

B
An 18-month-old can walk upstairs if the hand is held. The child is just beginning to have physiologic control of the sphincters, but does not achieve daytime control of the bowel and bladder until later. The child cannot jump with both feet until about 30 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

Ortolani's sign
Ortolani's sign is the audible click heard when the femur is snapped back into the acetabulum.
