QUESTION 11
Babies born under 1,000 grams (2 pounds 3 ounces) are considered:
We need to classify babies according to their birthweight category. Various categories exist, but we are particularly interested in the classification for babies born under 1,000 grams.
Here are the typical categories for birth weight classification:
a. Low birthweight: Babies weighing less than 2,500 grams (about 5 pounds, 8 ounces).
b. Small for gestational age: Babies whose birthweight is below the 10th percentile for their gestational age.
c. Extremely low birthweight: Babies weighing less than 1,000 grams (about 2 pounds, 3 ounces).
d. Very low birthweight: Babies weighing less than 1,500 grams (about 3 pounds, 5 ounces).
For babies born with a weight under 1,000 grams, they fall into the category of:
c. extremely low birthweight
Thus, the answer is:
O c. extremely low birthweight
