Answer to Question 1

D
Stretch marks never disappear altogether, but they gradually fade to silvery lines.
Stretch marks do not disappear.
This is true, but more information can be added, such as the changes that will occur with the stretch marks.
This is not a true statement; they will not disappear.

Answer to Question 2

C
Incomplete emptying and overdistention of the bladder can lead to urinary tract infection. Overdistention of the bladder displaces the uterus and prevents contraction of the uterine muscle.
There is no correlation between bladder distention and eclampsia.
There is no correlation between bladder distention and blood pressure or fevers.
The risk of uterine rupture decreases after the birth.
