Answer to Question 1

D
In the terminal sterilization method, the formula is prepared in the bottles, which are loosely capped, and then the bottles are placed in the sterilizer, where they are boiled for 25 minutes.
With the aseptic method, the bottles are boiled separate from the formula.
With the terminal method, the formula is prepared, placed in bottles, and everything is boiled at one time.
The terminal method takes 25 minutes to boil; the aseptic method takes 5 minutes to boil.

Answer to Question 2

A
The umbilical cord can compress between the fetal body and the maternal pelvis when the body has been born but the head remains within the pelvis.
Breech presentation is not associated with a more rapid labor.
There is no higher risk of infection with a breech birth.
There is not higher risk for perineal trauma with a breech birth.
