Answer to Question 1

1
The shape of the os in women who have not borne children is circular. In women who have borne children, the os is slit-like. The shape of the cervical os does not change if a client has not started menses or has gone through menopause.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
In the kidney, tubular reabsorption includes water, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, bicarbonates, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Ammonia is secreted from the renal tubule.
