Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. These are symptoms of an amniotic fluid embolus and cor pulmonale.
2. Placental abruption does not have any of these symptoms.
3. DIC might have hemorrhage associated with it but not the other symptoms.
4. Congestive heart failure would not have vaginal bleeding with it.
