Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A baby is considered small-for-gestational-age (SGA) if their weight is below the 10th percentile for their gestational age, meaning they weigh less than 90% of other babies at the same gestational age. This is due to delayed or restricted fetal growth. Choices B and D describe low birth weight and very low birth weight, respectively, but do not account for gestational age. Choice A describes a term birth, not SGA criteria.
