Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As the fetus nears term, fetal waste products accumulate in the intestines as dark green-to-black, tarry meconium.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Your baby's umbilical cord is surrounded by connective tissue called Wharton jelly, which prevents compression of the blood vessels and ensures continued nourishment of your baby is the most appropriate response. Your baby's umbilical floats around in blood anyway is inaccurate. You don't need to worry about things like that is an inappropriate response. It negates the client's need for teaching and discounts her feelings. The placenta does not protect the umbilical cord. The cord is protected by the surrounding Wharton jelly.
