Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Women have a significant increase in blood volume during pregnancy. After delivery, the additional circulating volume is no longer necessary.
The hematocrit decreases with pregnancy due to the high fluid volume.
Fibrinogen levels increase with pregnancy.
Leukocyte levels increase during labor, but that is not the reason for the toleration of blood loss.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
