Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Scoliosis is a complex spinal deformity usually involving lateral curvature,
spinal rotation causing rib asymmetry, and thoracic hypokyphosis.
B Ankylosis is the immobility of a joint.
C Lordosis is an accentuation of the cervical or lumbar curvature beyond
physiologic limits.
D Kyphosis is an abnormally increased convex angulation in the curve of the
thoracic spine.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A NEC is due to the interference of blood supply to the intestinal mucosa. Necrotic
lesions occur at that site.
B ROP is thought to occur as a result of high levels of oxygen in the blood.
C BPD is caused by the use of positive pressure ventilation against the immature
lung tissue.
D IVH is due to rupture of the fragile blood vessels in the ventricles of the brain. It
is most often associated with hypoxic injury, increased blood pressure, and
fluctuating cerebral blood flow.
