Question

The preterm infant's elbow may easily be brought across the chest with no resistance is ______

A.

Sunset sign

B.

Tonic neck reflex

C.

Scarf sign

D.

Grasp reflex

Correct option is C

Ans (c)
Sol. Sunset sign: This refers to a sign of increased intracranial pressure in infants, characterized by the downward deviation of the eyes. It is not related to the movement of the elbows.
Tonic neck reflex: This reflex occurs when an infant’s head turns to one side, causing the arm on that side to extend and the opposite arm to flex. It does not involve bringing the elbow across the chest.
Scarf sign: The scarf sign is a clinical sign used to assess the tone of a preterm infant. It involves gently attempting to bring the infant’s elbow across the chest, and if the elbow can be brought easily, it indicates low muscle tone, which is often seen in premature infants.
Grasp reflex : This reflex occurs when an infant's hand is stroked, causing the fingers to close around the object. It is not related to the movement of the elbow or bringing it across the chest.
