Explanation:

• For the first question about Vernix:
• An STI (sexually transmitted infection) is an infection passed through sexual contact, which Vernix is not.
• A soft spot on a newborn's head is called a fontanelle, not Vernix.
• Vernix is indeed a waxy or "cheesy" substance that coats a newborn's skin at birth, providing protection.
• For the second question about Oxycodone:
• Stimulants increase alertness and energy (e.g., caffeine, amphetamines).
• Depressants slow down the central nervous system (e.g., alcohol, benzodiazepines).
• Hallucinogens cause hallucinations (e.g., LSD, psilocybin).
• Oxycodone is a narcotic (opioid) used for pain relief as it acts on the opioid receptors in the brain.
