Question 2

An infant is born 3 weeks before the end of the full gestation period and weighs only 4 1/2 pounds. Which prediction is most accurate regarding her long-range development?
◦ She may suffer serious medical problems - such as meningitis - and will be more often afflicted throughout life with mild illnesses - such as respiratory infections. Her intellectual development will be similar to those born full-term.
◦ She may show early delays but, with early intervention and positive parenting, will gain weight and likely show few signs of difficulty in later childhood.
◦ She may be delayed in intellectual and physical areas throughout much of childhood but will be unaffected socially and emotionally.
