Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because the general anesthesia crosses the placental barrier, the fetus, as well as the mother, will be anesthetized. This may require more vigorous resuscitation of the newborn.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Women with lower uterine segment incisions may be able to have vaginal births in the future unless cephalopelvic disproportion is present. The woman should discuss this possibility with her health care provider.
