Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: A dysmorphic feature was present at birth. A cleft palate, even though repaired, would be included in a health history as a dysmorphic feature. The burns and a severed digit were not present at birth, and would not be considered dysmorphic. A soft fontanel would be considered normal.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale: Both gross and fine motor skills are becoming more developed, and children at this age enjoy toys that can help them refine these skills. They tend to enjoy more colorful toys at this age and are more mobile and thus have less interest in placing toys in their mouths and more interest in toys that can be manipulated.
