Answer to Question 2

caput
This pressure causes localized edema and appears as an edematous area on the infant's
head. The edema may cross suture lines, is soft to the touch, and varies in size. It usually
resolves quickly and disappears entirely within the first few days after birth. Caput may
also occur as the result of an operative delivery when a vacuum extractor is used during a
vaginal birth.
