Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Prolapsed cord is more likely to occur when the presenting part is not engaged and the pregnancy is preterm because the fetus would be smaller and there would potentially be more amniotic fluid. If the presenting part is engaged and the pregnancy is at term or postdated, it is less likely that a prolapsed cord would occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Vacuum extraction is used in place of forceps as an assistive method to help with the birth of the fetus. It is not used in nonvertex presentations. Mentum presentation is where the chin is the presenting part. Vacuum extraction should not be used in the presence of caput succedaneum (swelling) or in the presence of excessive molding.
