Answer to Question 1

A
Gastroschisis is a condition in which the bowel herniates through an abdominal wall defect to the right of the umbilicus. In contrast to omphalocele, the contents are not contained in a sac, but instead the contents lie openly on the abdomen.

Answer to Question 2

F
Children ages 6 and 7 actually need approximately 12 hours of sleep per night. Some
children also continue to need an afternoon nap or quiet time to restore energy levels. The
12-year-old needs approximately 9 to 10 hours of sleep at night. Adequate sleep is
important for school performance and physical growth. Inadequate sleep can cause
irritability, inability to concentrate, and poor school performance.
