Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Protein sources are important for overall health but do not increase intake of folic acid.
Rationale 2: Folic acid is important to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. The neural tube defect occurs in the first few weeks of fetal development. Folic-rich foods include green leafy vegetables, oranges, and dried beans. Clients should also be encouraged to take a vitamin supplement that contains folic acid. Vegetables in general and fiber are important for overall health but do not increase intake of folic acid.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: This option while not incorrect doesn't adequately address the parent's question.
Rationale 2: Lanugo, a fine downy hair, covers the body of the baby and usually disappears by the time gestation is full term. Since this baby was born early, the lanugo is more noticeable and will disappear as the baby nears full term.
Rationale 3: This option dismisses the parent's question.
Rationale 4: This option is insensitive and does not answer the parent's question.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made.
