Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Acceleration/deceleration injuries are a significant risk for infants and children under 3 years of age because of their large heads and mobile spines. Febrile seizures are not related to anatomy or physiology. Caput succedaneum is an edematous area on the scalp caused by pressure of the uterus or vagina during head-first delivery. Posterior plagiocephaly is caused by early closure of the lamboid suture.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
Premature infants have more fragile capillaries in the periventricular area than term infants, which puts them at greater risk for intracranial hemorrhage. Neonatal conjunctivitis can occur in any newborn during birth and is caused by virus, bacteria, or chemicals. Facial deformities are typical of babies of alcoholic mothers. Incomplete myelinization is present in all newborns.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
