B
Feedback
A Children who are ready to manage solid foods are able to move food to the back
of their throats to swallow. This child's extrusion reflex may still be present.
B Sitting is a sign that the child is ready to begin with solid foods.
C Infants who weigh less than 13 pounds and demonstrate a lack of interest in
eating are not ready to be started on solid foods.
D Infants who are difficult feeders and do not demonstrate an interest in solid foods
are not ready to be started on them.

Answer to Question 2

A
The fetal heart starts beating at 21 days, or 3 weeks', gestation. By 8 weeks, the fetal heart is fully developed and by 12 weeks, the fetal heartbeat can be heard with Doppler ultrasound. 1 week after fertilization, no organs or systems are forming. Cell division and differentiation are occurring.
