Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
An 8-month-old child can sit securely without any additional support. Babies are not able to sit steadily at age 3 or 4 months. Sitting ability does not correspond with tooth eruption.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
After birth, a thorough inspection of the placenta is necessary to confirm its intactness because tears or fragments left inside may indicate an accessory lobe or placenta accreta. These can lead to profuse hemorrhage because the uterus is unable to contract fully. Administering antibiotics would be appropriate for preventing infection, not postpartum hemorrhage. Manual removal of the placenta or excessive traction on the umbilical cord can lead to uterine inversion, which in turn would result in hemorrhage.
