Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A The left and right side growth should be symmetric. With asymmetric
intrauterine growth restrictions, the body appears smaller than normal compared
to the head.
B The body parts are out of proportion, with the body looking smaller than
expected due to the lack of subcutaneous fat.
C In asymmetric intrauterine growth restriction, the head is normal in size but
appears large because the infant's body is long and thin due to lack of
subcutaneous fat.
D The body, arms, and legs have lost subcutaneous fat so they will look small
compared to the head.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Respiratory distress syndrome is seen in preterm infants.
B Dehydration is a concern for all infants and is not specific for SGA infants.
C Promoting bonding is a concern for all infants and is not specific for SGA
infants.
D The SGA infant has poor glycogen stores and is subject to hypoglycemia.
