Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Birth weight doubles at about age 5 to 6 months. At 6 months, an infant who weighed 7 pounds at birth would weigh approximately 15 pounds. Ten pounds is too little; the infant would have gone from the 50th percentile at birth to below the 5th percentile. Twenty pounds or more is too much; the infant would have tripled the birth weight at 6 months.

Answer to Question 2

22. ANS: B
23. ANS: A
24. ANS: C
25. ANS: D
