Answer to Question 1

A
The anterior fontanel should be completely closed by 12 to 18 months of age. A closed anterior fontanel at 14 months of age does not indicate premature closure of cranial sutures, is not abnormal, and does not indicate the need for a neurological examination.

Answer to Question 2

B
In dark-skinned children, erythema appears as dusky red or violet skin coloration. Cyanosis in a dark-skinned child would appear as a black coloration of the skin. Vitiligo refers to areas of depigmentation. Nevi are areas of increased pigmentation.
