Answer to Question 1

B
Maternal perception of fetal movement (quickening) usually begins between 16 and 20 weeks after conception.
Because this is her first pregnancy, movement is felt toward the later part of the 17 to 20 weeks. This statement may be alarming to the woman.
This is a true statement; the fetus' movements are not strong enough to be felt until 17 to 20 weeks. However, this statement does not answer the concern of the woman.
Fetal movement should be felt between 17 and 20 weeks; if movement is not felt by the end of that time, further assessment will be necessary.

Answer to Question 2

B
The uterine fundus is richly supplied with blood and has the thickest endometrium, both of which promote optimum nourishment of the fetus.
If the placenta attaches too deeply, it does not easily detach.
Softness is not a concern with implantation; attachment and nourishment are the major con-cerns.
The blood supply is rich in the fundus, which allows for optimal nourishment of the fetus.
