Answer to Question 1

C
Use lotions rather than powder due to the risk of aspiration. Cold water should be run in the tub first. Circumcised infants should be sponged until circumcision is healed. Bubble baths may cause vaginitis in infants.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
Open fontanels, an unfused cranium, and underdeveloped cranial bones allow for brain growth. Myelination is not an aspect of the cranium.
