Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Many infants seek comfort and security by positioning themselves in flexion, the dominant position they were in while in utero. The other statements are inaccurate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The dose of vitamin K1 phytonadione (AquaMEPHYTON) is 0.5 mg. It is not dosed according to weight. The other actions are appropriate.
