Answer to Question 1

C
Each surrogacy case is decided individually in a court of law.
Surrogacy is not governed by federal law.
Surrogacy is not governed by state law.
Protective child services departments do not make decisions about surrogacy.

Answer to Question 2

A
The discomfort of afterpains is more acute for multiparas because repeated stretching of muscle fibers leads to loss of uterine muscle tone.
Afterpains are particularly severe during breast-feeding, not bottle-feeding.
The uterus of a primipara tends to remain contracted.
The nonnursing mother may have engorgement problems. She should empty her breasts reg-ularly to stimulate milk production so she will have the milk when the baby is strong enough to nurse.
