Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. If the plastibell is not used, there will be an open cut that will adhere to diapers. A thin layer of petroleum jelly applied to the circumcision will keep the diapers from sticking.
B Incorrect. The yellow exudate is a granulation issue, and should not be removed.
C Incorrect. It is more important to change diapers often so urine and stool do not irritate the site; powder is nice, but keeping the site clean is most important.
D Incorrect. The use of hydrogen peroxide is not necessary after each diaper change, just keep the site clean.

Answer to Question 2

C
Alpha-fetoprotein may indicate the possibility that the baby has spina bifida. It does not cause a birth defect. An autosome directs the growth and development of an individual. A teratogen is a chemical, agent, or factor that causes physical defects in the developing embryo. A mutation is an accidental error in duplication, arrangement, or loss of parts of the DNA code.
