Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The student should measure the infant's head three times and record the largest of the three measurements. The other actions are incorrect; the student should not use the average, the tape measure is placed above the eyebrows and pinna of the ear, and a tape measure is used, not the fingers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Birth-related damage to the 7th cranial nerve (facial) can lead to drooping tongue or mouth, unequal movement of the cheek muscles, or inappropriate eyelid movement.
