Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Growth in infants occurs in a cephalocaudal direction, that is, from head to toe (top to bottom). Growth that occurs from midline outward is termed proximodistal. Growth does not occur from bottom to top or from the periphery to the midline.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Periods of growth and development are often followed by a period of rest. The periods of rest allow the child to incorporate the new growth or the newly developed skill into his or her personal repertoire more completely before attempting the next level. The other statements are in accurate.
