Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A clunk indicates the femoral head hitting the acetabulum as the head reenters the area. This, along with uneven gluteal creases, suggests developmental hip dysplasia. These findings are not a normal variation and are not associated with slipping of the periosteal joint or overriding of the pelvic bone.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Pregnant adolescents are prone to cephalopelvic disproportion because of the patient's incomplete pelvic growth. Using a birthing center could be dangerous for the patient and the fetus. The use of a birthing center is not contraindicated because the patient's parents disapprove of the center. There are no restrictions such as marital status or age on the use of a birthing center.
