1. A newborn is assessed at 38 weeks gestation with abundant vernix caseosa, flat
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
ly areolae, and faint red soles. What is the most appropriate next step?
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
A) Diagnose post-term infant
ly ly ly
B) Perform a Ballard gestational age assessment
ly ly ly ly ly ly
C) Immediate NICU admission
ly ly ly
D) Repeat assessment in 24 hours
ly ly ly ly ly
Answer: B ly
Explanation: The findings suggest possible physiologic immaturity inconsistent with 38
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
weeks. A standardized gestational age assessment like the Ballard Score should be
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
performed to reconcile chronological and physical maturity. This is critical before making
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
management decisions or diagnosing post-term status.
ly ly ly ly ly ly
2. Which cranial suture normally remains open until approximately 18 months of
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
ly age to accommodate brain growth?
ly ly ly ly
A) Sagittal suture
ly ly
B) Coronal suture
ly ly
C) Anterior fontanel
ly ly
D) Lambdoid suture
ly ly
Answer: C ly
Explanation: The anterior fontanel is the diamond-shaped membranous gap between
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
the frontal and parietal bones. It typically closes between 12–18 months. The posterior
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
fontanel closes much earlier, by 2–3 months. Sutures generally close in the second year
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
of life.
