Conception and Fetal Development NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
At which point in the pregnancy are alveoli formed and fetal breathing movements noted?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (24 weeks) because alveoli formation and fetal breathing movements are typically observed during the late second trimester, around 24 weeks. At this stage, the lungs have developed sufficiently to support breathing outside the womb. Choices A (12 weeks), B (6 weeks), and C (20 weeks) are incorrect because alveoli formation and breathing movements do not occur as early as these time points in the pregnancy. Fetal breathing movements are a crucial sign of lung maturation and readiness for extrauterine life, which is why the correct answer is 24 weeks.
