Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cephalocaudal development proceeds from head to feet.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Toxoplasmosis is usually acquired by consuming raw or poorly cooked meat that has been contaminated with Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasmosis may also be acquired through close contact with feces from an infected animal (usually cats) or soil that has been contaminated with T. gondii. The nurse should advise the woman to avoid poorly or undercooked meat and changing the cat's litter box. The other statements are inaccurate.
