Answer to Question 1

B
Because of the sensitivity of the surgical area and the sensitivity of the subject of genital surgery, it is best to ascertain what the child has been told.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cord blood can be collected at the request of the parents and placed in a blood bank to be a source of stem cells should the need arise. Stem cells can transform into other types of cells in the body and create new growth and development.
