Answer to Question 1

B
Following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), the bladder is continuously irrigated with normal saline during the immediate postoperative period to reduce clot formation, which would interfere with urinary drainage.

Answer to Question 2

A
By the 8th week after conception, all systems have started to form. The heart begins to beat on the 21st day. Most congenital malformations of the heart and great vessels develop during the 6th to 8th week.
