Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The nurse should tell the parents that this is normal and that the baby's circulatory system is adjusting to extrauterine life. Using the technical term acrocyanosis would most likely scare the parents. Telling the parents that the child may have a circulatory problem is inaccurate as this is a normal variation. Acrocyanosis and the mottling caused by cooling and warming are two different variations.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The toddler demonstrates lordosis (swayback) and bowlegs, with a relatively large head and protuberant belly. This is a normal condition and requires no further attention.
