Answer to Question 1

C
The student's statement about the life expectancy of a female born in 2020 would need to be clarified. An African American female born in 2020 has a life expectancy of 79.2 years (not 72.6 years). The life expectancy of an African American male born in 2020 is 72.6 years. Women tend to have a longer life expectancy than men.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Linea nigra on the abdomen is the normal integumentary change associated with pregnancy. It presents as a brown, pigmented, vertical line on the lower abdomen.
B Turner's sign is ecchymosis in the flank area, often associated with pancreatitis.
C Cullen's sign, the blue ecchymosis seen in the umbilical area, indicates hematoperitoneum associated with an undiagnosed ruptured intraabdominal ectopic pregnancy.
D Chadwick's sign is the blue-purple color of the cervix that may be seen during or around the eighth week of pregnancy.
