Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Newborn screening of hearing does not identify risk of infection but only of sensory responses. The baby's response to the mother is important to bonding, but this not the most important reason to evaluate hearing. Likewise, socialization and tone recognition are functions of hearing, but the most significant reason to test hearing is to identify losses and provide compensatory ways to encourage language development.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Wood's light examination is the use of a black light and darkened room to assist with physical examination of the skin. The examination does not cause discomfort.
