Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. The pulse rate frequently increases during pregnancy, although the amount varies from almost no increase to an increase of 10 to 15 beats per minute. This is a normal response, and does not indicate a need for emergency measures or treatment.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The foreskin is not fully retractable at 2 months.
Rationale 2: The foreskin is not fully retractable in a newborn.
Rationale 3: The foreskin is not fully retractable until around the age of 35 years.
Rationale 4: If retraction has occurred, daily gentle washing of the glans with soap and water is sufficient.
