Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Development proceeds at a slower rate during embryonic stage indicates the nurse needs to follow up to correct the misconception. From the moment of conception until birth, human development proceeds at a predictive and rapid rate. All the rest of the information is correct and does not need follow-up. Development proceeds in a cephalocaudal and proximal-distal pattern.
