Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The optic nerve is not completely myelinated at birth, so color discrimination is incomplete. Hearing is intact at birth and visual acuity develops from birth throughout childhood. Binocular vision is achieved by 4 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Perimenopause is the time period occurring 2 to 8 years prior to menopause during which women may experience physical changes associated with decreasing estrogen levels, which may include vasomotor symptoms of hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycles, sleep disruptions, forgetfulness, irritability, mood disturbances, decreased vaginal lubrication, night sweats, fatigue, vaginal atrophy, and depression (Burbos & Morris, 2011). Vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and night sweats) are the most common complaints for which women seek treatment. Menopause or climacteric is defined as 1 year without a menstrual period. Menarche refers to the onset of the first menses.
