Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The vacuum extractor is applied on the occipital bone and may create scalp edema at the application site. The posterior fontanel connects the occipital bone to the parietal bones. The anterior fontanel, coronal suture lines, and parietal bones are not part of the application area for a vacuum extractor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Following a forceps birth, the infant may have ecchymoses and facial nerve injury. Facial asymmetry suggests facial nerve damage. Changes in newborn reflexes, presence of caput and molding, and changes in the anterior and posterior fontanels are not risks associated with trauma to the infant's face.
