Answer to Question 1

C
Breastfeeding the infant eight to twelve times a day using both breasts will help prevent engorgement. Avoiding warm showers is a treatment modality for engorgement, not prevention. The risk of dehydration is present due to the labor and delivery process; limiting fluid intake would increase the risk. The mother should wear a good-fitting bra, but not a breast binder.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. At 23 weeks, the fetal skin is reddish and wrinkled, and eyes are still closed.
2. Twenty-five weeks is the gestational age of the fetus in the description.
3. At 30 weeks, the fetus gains weight and has rhythmic breathing movements.
4. At 34 weeks, the fetus has less wrinkled skin, and lanugo begins to disappear.
