Answer to Question 1

The patient is placed in a lithotomy position, and the uterus is removed through the vagina.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Of the four foods listed, leafy green vegetables are the best source of the B-complex vitamins. Limes are a good source of vitamin C. Yellow vegetables are a good source of vitamin A. Prunes contain potassium, which is necessary for healthy nerves, but it is not a B-complex vitamin.
