Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
It is believed that all the ova a female will ever have are present at birth. The human ovum consists of protoplasm enclosed within a two-layered cell wall. The outer layer is the zona pellucida; the inner layer is the vitelline membrane. The ovum cell contains a large nucleus, within which is a nucleolus called the germinal spot. The ovum is larger than the sperm cell, and it is the only human cell normally visible to the naked eye.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Considering the client's age, the nurse should encourage the client to select an occupation that will help the client move forward in life. The client can focus on establishing adult relationships, starting a family, and reappraising commitments after committing to an occupation.
