Answer to Question 1

A, C, D

Correct The back to sleep position is now recommended as the only position for
every sleep period. To prevent positional plagiocephaly (flattening of the
head) the infant should spend time on his or her abdomen while awake and
for play. Loose sheets and blankets may be dangerous because they could
easily cover the baby's head. The parents should be instructed to tuck any
bedding securely around the mattress or use sleep sacks or bunting bags
instead. Ideally the infant's crib should be placed in the parents' room.
Incorrect The side-sleeping position is no longer an acceptable alternative according
to the AAP. Infants should always sleep on a firm surface, ideally a firm
crib mattress covered by a sheet only. Quilts, sheepskins, etc., should not
be placed under the infant.

A Blood pressure measurements are taken on all children at every ambulatory visit.
B Weight is measured at every well-child examination.
C Height is measured at every well-child examination.
D Head circumference is measured on all children from birth to 3 years. Children
older than 3 years of age with questionable head size or a history of
megalocephaly, hydrocephalus, or microcephaly should have their head
circumference assessed at every visit. A 4-year-old without a history of these
problems does not need his or her head circumference measured.
