Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Women with multiple gestations are at high risk for preeclampsia, preterm labor, polyhydramnios, hyperemesis gravidarum, anemia, and antepartal hemorrhage. There is no association between multiple gestations and the development of chorioamnionitis.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
After childbirth and expulsion of the placenta, prolactin stimulates the production of milk. Placental estrogen and progesterone stimulate the development of the mammary glands during pregnancy. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone induces the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone to assist with ovulation.
