Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The Bishop score helps identify women who would be most likely to achieve a successful induction. The duration of labor is inversely correlated with the Bishop score: a score over 8 indicates a successful vaginal birth. Therefore the woman with a Bishop score of 11 would have the greatest chance for success. Bishop scores of less than 6 usually indicate that a cervical ripening method should be used prior to induction.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Development is measured by observing a child's ability to perform specific skills. Growth is used to denote an increase in physical size such as height and weight. Appetite is not used to evaluate growth or development.
