Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
With entropion, an inward turning of the lid margin occurs in which the lower lashes turn inward and irritate the conjunctiva and cornea. An outward turning of the eyelid is known as ectropion, drooping of the eyelid is called ptosis, and increased eye pressure is known as glaucoma.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
There are four stages of labor: In stage II, expulsion: Uterine contractions continue and increase in intensity until the baby is delivered through the vaginal opening.
In stage I, dilation: Uterine contractions cause the cervical os (mouth) of the cervix to open (dilate) and move the fetus downward into the birth canal. In stage III, placental: Uterine contractions expel the placenta after the delivery of the newborn. In stage IV, recovery: Uterine contractions continue and close off open blood vessels to prevent excessive blood loss.
