Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Ringer's lactate solution or normal saline is most often used for hydration because a glucose-containing solution causes the fetus to increase insulin production, possibly resulting in hypoglycemia after birth. Potassium would not commonly be added to the solution.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Hypotension is a common side effect of regional anesthesia, so frequent monitoring of blood pressure is required.
