Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
After the patient is placed in the supine position, a sonogram is done to determine the position of the fetus, the location of a pocket of amniotic fluid, and the placenta. The uterus does not feel soft over the placenta site. It would be harmful if the placenta were punctured during the procedure. Placentas do not always form on the posterior uterine wall.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Providing age-appropriate toys and play activities is important. However, peer
interactions will better facilitate social development.
B The acquisition of social skills is a complex task. Children of all ages need peer
relationships. Parents should enroll the child in preschool. When older, they
should have peer experiences similar to other children such as group outings,
Boy and Girl Scouts, and Special Olympics.
C Parents should expose the child to strangers so that the child can practice social
skills.
D Verbal skills are delayed more than physical skills.
