Answer to Question 1

B
Deepening the acetabulum by pressing the head of the femur into it will deepen the joint and allow the head of the femur to be stabilized. This is accomplished by the use of a pillow splint or a Pavlik harness.

Answer to Question 2

B
The 6-month-old can roll completely over, making such activities as weighing a possible hazard.
