Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Signs and symptoms of a fractured clavicle include asymmetrical Moro's reflex and crying when the affected arm is moved. Seizures, respiratory distress, cyanosis, a shrill cry, and muscle weakness are signs or intracranial hemorrhage. One example of brachial plexus injury is Erb-Duchenne paralysis, which results from trauma to the fifth and sixth cranial nerves.

Answer to Question 2

B
