Answer to Question 1

2; 3; 4
Rationale:
1. Polyhydramnios is not associated with postterm pregnancy.
2. In a postterm pregnancy, an infant can be large or small for gestational age depending on the health of the placenta. With a healthy placenta, the fetus will thrive and become larger than average, but if the placenta begins to deteriorate due to decreased perfusion, the infant might begin to lose muscle mass and subcutaneous fat because of decreased nutrition.
3. In a postterm pregnancy, an infant might be large or small for gestational age depending on the health of the placenta. With a healthy placenta, the fetus will thrive and become larger than average, but if the placenta begins to deteriorate due to decreased perfusion, the infant might begin to lose muscle mass and subcutaneous fat because of decreased nutrition.
4. A large-for-gestational age infant might require forceps to assist with the birth.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
If the students responded coma, convulsions, and shock, further clarification is needed. These are indications of the toxic effect of excess iron. The toxic effects of excess calcium would include kidney stones, deposits in joints and soft tissue; and possible inhibition of iron and zinc absorption.
