Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In brachial nerve paralysis, the affected arm is gently immobilized on the upper abdomen. Tucking the newborn under the arm (football hold) puts less pressure on the newborn's affected extremity. The other positions place the newborn's body next to the mother's and can cause pressure on the affected arm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A cleft palate means that audiologists will evaluate the child's hearing throughout early childhood and work closely with otolaryngologists to determine if pressure-equalizing (PE) tubes are needed. An infant with a cleft palate will also go through multiple phases of orthodontic intervention to align the teeth and the maxillary arches. Follow-up will be needed as the child grows. Following up with only an audiologist or only a speech pathologist would not be adequate.
