Answer to Question 1

B
During the first 24 hours following a circumcision, the dressing should be checked every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours and then every 2 hours afterward. The site is checked for excess bleeding or swelling. The diaper can be checked for dampness to indicate whether the infant has urinated.

Answer to Question 2

D
Never having given birth to a child is a risk factor for breast cancer. Breast cancer incidence increases after the age of 40 . Late menopause and early menarche are associated with increased risk of breast cancer.
