Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The extrusion reflex is elicited by touching the tip of the infant's tongue. The tongue should protrude outward. Palmar grasp is detected by placing a small object in the infant's hand. Stroking the side of the cheek should result in the rooting reflex. Turning the head and watching the position of the extremities is part of the tonic neck or fencing reflex.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Sack-type sleepers are not recommended for wearing in a child safety seat because the straps may not fit properly. The other observations are appropriate.
