Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Neurologic development follows a cephalocaudal (head-to-toe) and proximaldistal (center to outside) pattern.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
During the postpartum period, there may be an acute exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus symptoms because corticosteroid levels are returning to normal. Symptoms are not increased because the fetus was keeping the symptoms in check. The stress of delivery is not causing the symptoms to increase. The symptoms are not because of a spike in maternal hormone levels.
