Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A This is an expected finding in toddlers.
B This is an expected finding in toddlers.
C Further evaluation is needed if it persists beyond age 2 to 3 years, especially in
African-American children.
D Genu varum (bowlegged) is common in toddlers when they begin to walk. It
usually persists until all of their lower back and leg muscles are well developed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A The tailor position stretches the muscle responsible for the cremasteric reflex.
This prevents its contraction, which pulls the testes into the pelvic cavity.
B Undescended testes cannot be predictably palpated.
C Inguinal hernias are not detected by this method. This position is used for
inhibiting the cremasteric reflex.
D Privacy should always be provided for children.
