Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The amniotic fluid, kept inside the amnion, cushions the fetus against injury, regulates temperature, and allows the fetus to move freely inside it, which allows normal musculoskeletal development of the fetus. The woman's blood supplies food toand carries wastes away fromthe fetus. The placenta supplies the developing organism with food and oxygen; then the umbilical cord connects the fetal blood vessels contained in the villi of the placenta with those found within the fetal body.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The parent should cleanse the eyes first with clear water from the inner to outer canthus using a separate cotton ball for each eye, then wash the rest of the baby's face. The time should be used to talk to the infant and have a pleasant experience. The baby does not need to be bathed every day and baby oil should not be used on diaper rash because it may clog the pores.
