Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The stepping reflex occurs when the infant is held upright and his or her feet brush a horizontal surface distal to the feet. Drawing the legs up tight against the lower abdomen would be an abnormal response. Extending the legs against pressure is a positive magnet reflex. Curling the toes in, then fanning them outward, is a positive Babinski reflex.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
All options are at least partially correct. However, the most important point about touch and bonding is that all the infant learns during the neonatal period is conveyed through touch. Touch conveys warmth, love, pleasure, comfort, and security to the neonate.
