Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Orientation refers to the response of newborns to stimuli. It reflects newborns' response to auditory and visual stimuli, demonstrated by their movement of head and eyes to focus on that stimulus. Habituation is the newborn's ability to process and respond to visual and auditory stimulithat is, how well and appropriately he or she responds to the environment. Habituation is the ability to block out external stimuli after the newborn has become accustomed to the activity. Motor maturity depends on gestational age and involves evaluation of posture, tone, coordination, and movements. These activities enable newborns to control and coordinate movement. When stimulated, newborns with good motor organization demonstrate movements that are rhythmic and spontaneous. Social behaviors include cuddling and snuggling into the arms of the parent when the newborn is held.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Encouraging all women to come for prenatal care is the best preventive measure for eliminating complications of pregnancy. Weight gain, exercise, and calcium intake are not identified as specific measures to prevent complications of pregnancy.
