Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Hydrocephalus is a frequently associated anomaly in 80 to 90 of children. Craniosynostosis is the premature closing of the cranial sutures and is not associated with myelomeningocele. Biliary and esophageal atresia is not associated with myelomeningocele.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The widespread use of folic acid among women of childbearing age has decreased the incidence of spina bifida significantly. Vitamin A is not related to the prevention of spina bifida. Folic acid supplementation is recommended for the preconception period and during the pregnancy. Only 42 of women actually follow these guidelines.
