Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
With the newborn quiet and in a supine position, the degree of flexion in the arms and legs can be used for determination of gestational age. Length and chest circumference reflect the newborn's size and weight, which vary according to race and gender. Birth weight alone is a poor indicator of gestational age and fetal maturity. The Apgar score is an indication of the newborn's adjustment to extrauterine life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Local manifestations of erythema multiforme include an erythematous popular rash, lesions involving most skin surfaces except the scalp and lesions that enlarge by peripheral expansion. Papular urticaria and firm papules capped by vesicles are characteristics of an insect bite.
