Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The foreskin may be used to correct a defect. There is no significant increase in infection. A circumcision would not make the defect more noticeable. A circumcision is a decision made by the parents, but in this case the foreskin might be used to correct a defect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The LGA rating is based on weight and is defined as greater than the 90th percentile in weight. An infant between the 10th and 90th percentiles is average for gestational age. An infant in less than the 10th percentile is small for gestational age.
