Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Cryptorchidism is failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum.
B Correct. A retractile testis is one that has descended normally but easily retracts with physical stimulation and exam.
C Incorrect. An ectopic testis is one that is found outside the normal path of descent; it may be in the groin, perineum, or abdominal wall.
D Incorrect. A torticollis is an abnormal condition in which the head is inclined to one side as a result of contraction of muscles on that side of the neck.

Answer to Question 2

C
Whole milk, carrots, and white bread do not contain iron. Excessive milk intake makes a baby feel full and increases risk of iron-deficiency anemia. A 9-month-old infant should still be drinking formula or breast milk, not whole milk.
