Answer to Question 1

B
The infant's head circumference is between 13 and 14 inches (33 to 35 cm), and the chest circumference is 12 to 13 inches (30 to 33 cm). The head circumference is 2 to 3 cm (0.78 to 1.17 inches) larger than the chest circumference.

Answer to Question 2

B
Diverticulosis is usually asymptomatic; if bleeding or perforation of diverticula occurs or an abscess forms, surgical treatment consists of resection of the affected portion of colon or creation of a colostomy. When a client complains of left lower abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, anorexia, or nausea, diverticulitis is suspected and the client is treated with anti-infectives, analgesics, and colon resection.
