Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Preschool-age children may need to be assured periodically during pregnancy a new baby will be an addition to the family and will not replace them in their parents' affection. Explaining that the mother will have less time for the child, equating the new baby as fun, and taking away a bed for the baby will not help the child accept the new baby into the family.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The foramen ovale is the opening between the right and left atrium. The ductus venosus connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The ductus arteriosus connects the main pulmonary artery to the aorta. The umbilical artery carries blood to the placenta.
