Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A The fertilized ovum is called the zygote.
B This is the embryonic disc. It will develop into the baby.
C The placenta is formed from two layers of cells: the trophoblast, which is the
other portion of the fertilized ovum, and the deciduas, which is the portion of the
uterus where implantation occurs.
D The morula is so named because it resembles a mulberry. It is a solid ball of 12
to 16 cells that develops after fertilization.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. An abdominal girth should be taken around the largest circumference of the abdomenin this case, just above the umbilicus.
2. The circumferences below the umbilicus would not be accurate abdominal girths.
3. The circumferences below the sternum would not be accurate abdominal girths.
4. The circumferences across the symphysis pubis would not be accurate abdominal girths.
