Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The early development of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and all major internal and external structures occurs during the embryonic period, which is the first 2 weeks beginning at fertilization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Rachischisis is spina bifida, a type of neural tube defect that often requires immediate surgery. The priority of the nurse is to obtain signatures on the informed consent form and place it on the chart. There is no need for palliative care or parenteral nutrition. The nurse would not discourage the family from seeing the baby.
