Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hypotonic musculature is one of the major characteristics. Children with Down syndrome have short stature and a transverse palmar crease. Hyperflexibility is a characteristic of Down syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
These are characteristics associated with Down syndrome. The infant with microcephaly has a small head. Cerebral palsy is a diagnosis not usually made at birth. No characteristic physical signs are present. The infant with fragile X syndrome has increased head circumference; long, wide, and/or protruding ears; long, narrow face with prominent jaw; hypotonia; and high arched palate.
