Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Term infants over 4000 g (8.8 lb) may be classified as large for gestational age (LGA). For the preterm infant this is less than 38 weeks, for the term infant it is 38 to 42 weeks, and for the postterm infant it is beyond 42 weeks. A late preterm infant, also known as a near-term infant, is born between 34 and 36 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Fat stores have been used in utero for nourishment during the extended pregnancy.
