Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Combined deficiency: T- and B-cell disorder usually manifests before 6 months of age and includes severe infections such as meningitis and septicemia, diaper dermatitis, and opportunistic infections. Antibody deficiencies are usually seen after 6 months of age. Complement defect disorder is often accompanied by autoimmune diseases. Phagocyte defect disorders include impetigo, mouth ulcers, suppurative adenitis, osteomyelitis, and poor wound healing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
All options are sound advice for helping to keep a newborn well. However, the only option specific to physical barriers available to protect against infection (skin, mucous membranes) is to wash the baby's skin with gentle soap and dry it well, helping to keep it intact.
