Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A An infant who responds to his name at 9 months of age is demonstrating abilities
to both hear and interpret sound.
B Critical developmental milestones for gross motor development in a
12-month-old include standing briefly without support, getting to a sitting
position, and pulling to stand. If a 12-month-old child does not perform these
activities, it may be indicative of a developmental delay.
C A social smile is present by 2 months of age.
D Rolling over in both directions is not a critical milestone for gross motor
development until the child reaches 6 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

D
The causative organisms for some very serious maternal infections do pass through the placenta to the fetus, including rubella, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis, and varicella. The other statements indicate maternal understanding of fetal nutrition, blood circulation, and foods and drinks passing the placental barrier.
