Answer to Question 1

B
A woman who has a short perineum may experience extension of a midline episiotomy into the rectum. A mediolateral episiotomy does not extend into the rectum.

Answer to Question 2

A
DIC develops when the blood-clotting factor thromboplastin is released into the maternal bloodstream as a result of placental bleeding. Thromboplastin activates widespread clotting, which uses the available fibrinogen, resulting in a decreased fibrinogen level.
The platelet count will decrease.
The hematocrit may decrease if bleeding is pronounced.
The thromboplastin time is prolonged.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
