Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The largest transverse diameter of the fetal skull is the biparietal measurement. If this is too large, the skull may not be able to enter the mother's pelvis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The intrapartal period of the maternity cycle covers the onset of labor to delivery of the placenta. The antepartal period begins at conception and continues until the onset of labor. The postpartal period begins after the delivery of the placenta and continues for approximately 6 weeks, until the reproductive organs return to their prepregnancy state.
