Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Because of the continuing refractive development in the child's vision through adolescence, laser surgery for vision correction is not recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology until 18 years of age. The refractive error will continue to change as the child's vision continues to develop, making the refraction unstable. Thus, corrective lens prescription may change but the refraction error will not correct itself. Glasses still carry a stigma and the child may be teased or bullied. The statement about the child looking cute in her glasses ignores the parents' question and concerns and questions the parents' desire for information. The use of contact lenses does not negate the possibility of surgery. However, laser surgery would have to wait until the child is 18 years of age.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The external female reproductive organs collectively are called the vulva (which means covering in Latin). The vulva serves to protect the urethral and vaginal openings and is highly sensitive to touch to increase the female's pleasure during sexual arousal (Stables & Rankin, 2010). The structures that make up the vulva include the mons pubis, the labia majora and minora, the clitoris, the structures within the vestibule, and the perineum. The vagina and uterus are internal female reproductive organs.
