Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Infants commonly respond to a variety of illnesses with an elevation in temperature. Yellow scaly lesions on the scalp are normal findings and are probably cradle cap. More than two soft stools per day are appropriate for a newborn. Regurgitating a small amount of a feeding is a normal variance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Miliaria (heat rash) develops in infants who are too warmly dressed. Oils and ointments should be avoided. Wet clothing is not the cause of miliaria. Lotion should be avoided.
