Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: By the end of the twelfth week of gestation, the fetal gender can be determined by the appearance of the external genitalia on ultrasound. Therefore, the other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Disturbed body image relates to loss of bowel control, the presence of a stoma, the release of fecal material onto the abdomen, the passage of flatus, odor, and the need for an appliance (external pouch). There are no data in the question to support sexual dysfunction and fear. A risk for imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements is the more likely nursing diagnosis.
