Answer to Question 1

A
The color change from pink to bluish-purplish in the mucous membranes of the cervix, vagina,
and vulva is identified as Chadwick's sign.

Answer to Question 2

C
Hand-to-mouth movements are one of a number of readiness cues, including sucking movements, sucking sounds, rapid eye movements, soft cooing or sighing sounds, and fussiness. Crying is a late sign of readiness for feeding. Tongue thrusting and alertness are not readiness cues.
