    When a mother starts breastfeeding, which of the following is not neccesssary for the mother on the go? - ProProfs

    When a mother starts breastfeeding, which of the following is not neccesssary for the mother on the go?

    • A robe

    • Burp cloths

    • A comfortable nursing bra

    • A breast pump

    Correct Answer
    A. A robe
    Explanation
    A robe is not necessary for a mother on the go when she starts breastfeeding because it is not directly related to the act of breastfeeding. While a robe may provide comfort and convenience at home, it is not essential for breastfeeding in public or when the mother is out and about. The other options, such as burp cloths, a comfortable nursing bra, and a breast pump, are more directly related to the practicalities and comfort of breastfeeding on the go.

    • Can affect all neonates less than 1 month old.

    • Can affect all neonates less than 6 months old.

    • Affects all premature neonates.

    • An infection that only affects low weight neonates.

    Correct Answer
    A. Can affect all neonates less than 1 month old.
    Explanation
    Sepsis neonatorum is an infection that can affect all neonates less than 1 month old. This means that any newborn baby within the first month of their life can develop this infection. It is not limited to premature neonates or low weight neonates, but can affect all newborns within the specified age range.

    Which of the subsequent options is a predictable development pattern essentially found among new infants? - ProProfs

    Which of the subsequent options is a predictable development pattern essentially found among new infants?

    • Toe to head

    • Periphery to midline

    • General to specific

    • Specific to general

    Correct Answer
    A. General to specific
    Explanation
    The development pattern of going from general to specific is commonly observed among new infants. This means that infants initially develop basic motor skills and sensory abilities, such as grasping objects and responding to stimuli, before refining these skills and becoming more specific in their movements and responses. As they grow and gain more experience, infants gradually develop more precise and specialized abilities, such as fine motor skills and language acquisition. This pattern is consistent with the typical progression of infant development.

    How many lobes does each breast have? - ProProfs

    How many lobes does each breast have?

    • 12 to 25

    • 15 to 30

    • 10

    • 7

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 to 25
    Explanation
    Each breast typically has 12 to 25 lobes. Lobes are the glandular structures within the breast that produce milk. These lobes are connected to the nipple by ducts, which allow the milk to flow out of the breast. The number of lobes can vary from person to person, but on average, most individuals have between 12 to 25 lobes in each breast.

    Through what means does a hand pump provide suction? - ProProfs

    Through what means does a hand pump provide suction?

    • Blowing into a tube

    • The squeezing of a ball

    • The squeezing of a bar

    • The turning of a knob

    Correct Answer
    A. The squeezing of a bar
    Explanation
    A hand pump provides suction through the squeezing of a bar. When the bar is squeezed, it creates a decrease in pressure inside the pump, causing the air or fluid to be drawn in through the inlet valve. This suction effect allows the pump to draw in and move the desired substance, whether it is air or liquid.

    Which of the following is TRUE about Cytomegalovirus? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is TRUE about Cytomegalovirus?

    • Is not transmitted to the developing fetus in utero.

    • Can be serious in its congenital form.

    • Has a high risk of infection among pregnant women.

    • Is transmitted sexually in the same manner as hepatitis.

    Correct Answer
    A. Can be serious in its congenital form.
    Explanation
    Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be serious in its congenital form, meaning that if a pregnant woman becomes infected with CMV, she can pass the virus to her unborn baby. Congenital CMV infection can cause a range of health problems in the baby, including hearing loss, vision loss, developmental delays, and other complications. It is important for pregnant women to take precautions to prevent CMV infection, such as practicing good hygiene and avoiding close contact with individuals who have active CMV infections.

    Typically, what is a newborn's skin like? - ProProfs

    Typically, what is a newborn's skin like?

    • Without functioning sebaceous glands.

    • Darker than it will be later in life.

    • Without sebaceous glands.

    • Lighter than it will be in later life.

    Correct Answer
    A. Lighter than it will be in later life.
    Explanation
    A newborn's skin is lighter than it will be in later life. This is because the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, is not fully developed in newborns. As they grow older, their skin gradually darkens due to the increased production of melanin. Additionally, newborns do have sebaceous glands, but they are not fully functional at birth, which can contribute to their lighter skin tone.

    What is the expected growth range of an infant in cm by the end of 6 months of age, anatomically? - ProProfs

    What is the expected growth range of an infant in cm by the end of 6 months of age, anatomically?

    • 14 to 18 cm

    • 18 to 22 cm

    • 6 to 8 cm

    • 5 to 8 cm

    Correct Answer
    A. 18 to 22 cm
    Explanation
    During the first 6 months of age, infants experience rapid growth and development. The expected growth range of an infant in cm by the end of 6 months is 18 to 22 cm. This growth is primarily attributed to the increase in bone length and muscle mass. It is important to note that individual growth patterns may vary, but this range provides a general expectation for infant growth during this period.

    • 6 to 7 months.

    • 7 to 8 months.

    • 2 to 4 months.

    • 4 to 6 months.

    Correct Answer
    A. 4 to 6 months.
    Explanation
    Infants are developmentally and physically ready to start taking solid foods around 4 to 6 months of age. At this stage, they have typically developed the necessary skills such as being able to sit up with support, having good head and neck control, and showing an interest in food. It is important to introduce solid foods gradually and in a safe manner, following the guidance of healthcare professionals.
