Answer to Question 1

A
Ovulation in women who are breastfeeding usually returns by 190 days postpartum, but largely depends on the breastfeeding pattern.

Answer to Question 2

B
Local anesthesia may be produced by injection of a small amount of a local anesthetic drug into the skin or subcutaneous tissues, anesthetizing superficial nerves in the target area for up to 1 hour. The risk of toxicity is low when local anesthetics are used. Topical anesthesia is a type of local anesthesia in which the anesthetic agent (spray, solution, ointment, or lotion) is directly applied to tissue.
