Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Head circumference is measured by placing a tape measure around an infant's head just above the eyebrows and around the most prominent portion of the back of the head or the occipital prominence. Head circumference is not measured using the hairline or the forehead.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The child's current skills, sleep patterns, hygiene practices, eating habits, and interactions with the family can all be elicited by asking a parent to describe a typical day. Day histories are fun to obtain because most parents are eager to describe their day with their child, and information gained this way is surprisingly rich and pertinent, much more so than if parents are just asked how their child sleeps, eats, or plays.
