Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Assessment of habituation includes observing the newborn's ability to diminish or shut down innate responses to specific repeated stimuli, such as a rattle, bell, light, or heel pinprick.
Rationale 2: An allover assessment of the newborn's body tone is considered to be part of motor activity.
Rationale 3: Variations include the newborn's frequency of alert states, state changes, color changes, activity, and peaks of excitement.
Rationale 4: Assessment of motor activity includes assessing the infant's overall use of tone while the baby is being handled.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Easier or more difficult to deal with is a judgment, not part of an assessment.
Rationale 2: Describing an infant as having a calm disposition is a judgment, not part of an assessment.
Rationale 3: The active alert phase of the sleep-awake cycle is characterized by motor activity.
Rationale 4: The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale looks at habituation, orientation to animate or inanimate visual or auditory stimuli, motor activity, self-quieting, cuddliness or social behaviors, and variations of each of these categories.
