Answer to Question 1

A
The neonate's temperature normally ranges from 96 to 99.5 F (35.5 to 37.5 C). Temperature regulation is labile (unstable) during infancy because of immature physiologic mechanisms. Axillary measurement is considered the least accurate method and is used less frequently since the advent of the tympanic membrane thermometer. Tympanic thermometer readings are suitable for patients of all ages, except infants.

Answer to Question 2

C
By 1 year, birth weight is expected to triple.
