Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: An occasional watery stool can be associated with the normal newborn.
Rationale 2: Spitting up after some feedings can be associated with the normal newborn.

Rationale 4: The blood pressure and pulse are important, but are not part of the assessment made in relation to height and weight.
