Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D
Labor induction is contraindicated with placenta previa or a prolapsed umbilical cord. Gynecoid pelvis is the most favorable shape for vaginal delivery. Induction can be attempted as a VBAC after a horizontal cesarean incision but is contraindicated with a classic (vertical) incision. Gestational diabetes is not a contraindication for labor induction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
The most common complications are impaired placental exchange and uterine rupture, but water intoxication can occur due to fluid retention.
