Answer to Question 1

A
The heart begins to beat by the 3rd week of gestation; the GI tract begins to develop around week 4 . A primitive nervous system is present by the 3rd week and the brain is differentiated by the 4th week. Limb buds for both arms and legs form at 4 weeks, and by 8 weeks the hands and feet are well formed, so they form at the same time. Limb buds for both arms and legs develop before the hands and feet.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E

Correct The woman is at risk for all of these complications. Female genital
mutilation, cutting, or circumcision involves removal of some or all of the
external female genitalia. The labia majora are often stitched together over
the vaginal and urethral opening as part of this practice. Enlargement of
the vaginal opening may be performed before or during the birth.
Incorrect The woman is unlikely to give any verbal or nonverbal signs of pain. This
lack of response does not indicate lack of pain. In fact, pelvic
examinations are likely to be very painful because the introitus is so small
and inelastic scar tissue makes the area especially sensitive. A pediatric
speculum may be necessary, and the patient should be made as
comfortable as possible.
