A physical finding consistent with prematurity is
a. abundant lanuga
b. accelerated plantar creasing
c. stippled areola with raised edges

, A-External criteria of determination of gestational age involve a wide
variety of physical parameters including: presence of edema, skin texture,
color and opacity, presence of lanugo, plantar creases, nipple formation
and amount of breast tissue, ear form and firmness and appearance of
genitalia. Based on the options provided in the question, the abundant
lanugo is consistent with prematurity. As the infant achieves a greater
gestational age, lanugo diminishes. Plantar creases are not prominent in
the premature infant and becomes more pronounced with increasing
gestational age. The nipples of premature infants are usually flat with no
definition.
A neonate has a flat pink lesion on the face. The lesion is unilateral and has sharply
deliniated borders. Minimal blanching occurs when pressure is applied. The nurse
should suspect
a. a hemangioma
b. nevus simplex
c. port wine stain

C-The clinical scenario depicted in the question is consistent with port
wine stain. It most often appears on the face, its borders are sharp and
delinieated, and blanches minimally with pressure. Hamangiomas are
bright red raised tumors on the face that can appear on the head, neck,
trunk or extremities.
When performing a gestational age assessment, the nurse should recognize that a
finding that correlates with advancing gestational age is increased
a. degree of arm flexion with arm recoil maneuver
b. resistance with scarf sign maneuver
c. square window angle
