Answer to Question 1

C
Because the fetal presenting part is positioned high in the pelvis and is not well applied to the cervix, a prolapsed cord could occur if the membranes rupture.
Hydramnios puts the woman at high risk for a prolapsed umbilical cord.
A very small fetus, normally preterm, puts the woman at risk for a prolapsed umbilical cord.
Meconium-stained amniotic fluid shows that the fetus already has been compromised, but it does not increase the chance of a prolapsed cord.

Answer to Question 2

A
