Answer to Question 1

A
Prolonged labor and anesthesia can affect the ability of the uterus to contract postdelivery.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because preterm infants form the largest category of those needing expensive intensive care, early pregnancy intervention is essential for decreasing infant mortality.
Language and cultural differences are not infant mortality issues but must be addressed to improve overall health care.
Medicaid provides health care for poor pregnant women, but the process may take weeks to take effect. The eighth month is too late to apply and receive benefits for this pregnancy.
The women in shelters have the same difficulties in obtaining health care as other poor people, particularly lack of transportation and inconvenient hours of the clinics.
