Answer to Question 1

C
Janice has had two pregnancies (gravida 2), one of which terminated after 20 weeks (para 1). Para refers to the outcome of the pregnancy rather than the number of infants from that pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Increased vascularity of the pelvic organs during pregnancy results in the bluish color of the cervix, vagina, and labia, called Chadwick's sign.
