Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Signs and symptoms of FTT include minimal smiling, avoidance of eye contact, and a wide-eyed gaze and continual scan of the environment (radar gaze). There is no fear of strangers, and there are developmental delays, including social, motor, adaptive, and language.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C
Guidelines for care of an infant with eczema include avoiding a bubble bath and harsh soaps and avoiding overdressing the infant to prevent perspiration, which can cause a flare-up. The care plan should include using a humidifier in the infant's room, topical steroids, and wet compresses on the most affected areas.
