Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Full sole creases and nails beyond the fingertips are seen in term infants; a scarf sign beyond the midline is characteristic of a preterm infant.
Rationale 2: Deep testes and rugae-covered scrotum are seen in term infants. Vernix covering the body is an indication of a preterm infant.
Rationale 3: All these characteristics are characteristic of a preterm infant.
Rationale 4: One cm breast bud, peeling skin, the presence of adipose tissue so that veins are not visible, and rapid recoil of the legs and arms are all indications of term-to-postterm infants.
