Answer to Question 1

C, D
Feedback:
Benign breast masses are typically painful, firm, and rubbery in consistency, often bilateral, no dimpling and mobile, without being affixed to the chest wall.

Answer to Question 2

C
In the quiet-alert state, the infant can focus on stimulation with minimal motor activity. This is the best time to assess responses.
