Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A newborn's head usually appears disproportionately large because it is about one fourth of the total body length. The newborn's head is not one half, one sixth, or one eighth of the total body length.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Separation of the rectus abdominis muscles, called diastasis recti, is more common in women who have poor abdominal muscle tone before pregnancy. After birth, muscle tone is diminished and the abdominal muscles are soft and flabby. Specific exercises are necessary to help the woman regain muscle tone. Fortunately, diastasis responds well to exercise, and abdominal muscle tone can be improved. Stretch marks (striae gravidarum) fade to silvery lines. The darkened pigmentation of the abdomen (linea nigra), face (melasma), and nipples gradually fades. Parous women will note a permanent increase in shoe size.
