normal variant of a misshapened nose by performing
a. a compression test
b. sinus transillumination
c. x-ray
12. Orotracheal intubation is preferable to nasotracheal b. it can be performed
intubation during acute neonatal resuscitation be- without additional equip-
cause ment
a. a smaller size endotracheal tube can be utilized
b. it can be performed without additional equipment
c. the endotracheal tube is easier to stabilize
13. Following a traumatic delivery, a neonate's arm falls b. physical therapy
motionless along the side of the body and is rotated
inwards. Extension of the forearm is present but there
is no limitation on the movement of the hand. Once
localized edema and pain diminished, the neonate
should be referred for
a. casting of the affected limb
b. physical therapy
c. surgical repair

duce heat to maintain normal body temperature is tissue and brown fat
most related to stores
a. decreased thermal receptors in the skin
b. large surface skin area relative to body mass
c. limited subcutaneous tissue and brown fat stores
