Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Sucking on their fingers is an early hunger cue in infants. It indicates that the baby is ready to feed.

Choice B rationale

Smacking their lips is another early hunger cue. It shows that the baby is thinking about feeding.

Choice C rationale

Extending their tongue is also an early hunger cue. It indicates that the baby is ready to latch onto the breast or bottle.

Choice D rationale

Crying is a late hunger cue. It is better to feed the baby before they start crying to make feeding easier.

Choice E rationale

Rooting is an early hunger cue. It involves the baby turning their head towards the breast or bottle, indicating they are ready to feed. .

A. Tickle the outer edge of the sole of the newborn’s foot moving up toward the toes. B. Turn the newborn’s head quickly to one side. C. Hold the newborn vertically allowing one foot to touch the table surface. D. Clap near the crib and make a loud noise.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

The Babinski reflex is elicited by stroking the outer edge of the sole of the newborn’s foot, moving up toward the toes. This causes the big toe to move upward and the other toes to fan out.

Choice B rationale

Turning the newborn’s head quickly to one side is used to elicit the tonic neck reflex, not the Babinski reflex.

Choice C rationale

Holding the newborn vertically and allowing one foot to touch the table surface is used to elicit the stepping reflex, not the Babinski reflex.

Choice D rationale

Clapping near the crib and making a loud noise is used to elicit the startle (Moro) reflex, not the Babinski reflex.
