Sample Question 1
What is the significance of the Neuro-Muscular Maturity Score in assessing infant development?

Infants with higher Neuro-Muscular Maturity Scores are at higher risk for developmental delays.

The Neuro-Muscular Maturity Score primarily evaluates a baby's weight at birth.

Neuro-Muscular Maturity Score has no correlation with infant development milestones.

The preterm infant primarily exhibits unopposed passive extensor tone, while the infant approaching term shows progressively less opposed passive flexor tone.

The Neuro-Muscular Maturity Score is used to measure cognitive development in infants.

Sample Question 2
How is the Arm Recoil assessed in the Neuro-Muscular Maturity Score?

By counting the infant's breaths

By tapping the infant's shoulder

Taking the infant's hand, the examiner briefly sets the elbow in flexion, then momentarily extends the arm before releasing the hand. The angle of recoil to which the forearm springs back into flexion is noted, and the appropriate square is selected on the score sheet. The extremely pre-term infant will not exhibit any arm recoil. Square #4 is selected only if there is contact between the infant's fist and face. This is seen in term and post term infants.

By measuring the infant's temperature

Sample Question 3
What is the Popliteal Angle used to measure?

The angle formed at the ankle by the upper and lower leg is measured; premature infants may have a popliteal angle > 100o.

The angle formed at the knee by the upper and lower leg is measured; premature infants may have a popliteal angle > 100o

The angle formed at the elbow by the upper and lower arm is measured; premature infants may have a popliteal angle > 100o.

The angle formed at the hip by the upper and lower leg is measured; premature infants may have a popliteal angle > 100o.
