Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Precipitous labor lasts less than 3 hours. Short women more than 30 pounds overweight are more at risk for dysfunctional labor. Hypotonic uterine dysfunction, in which the contractions become weaker, is more common. Abnormal labor patterns are more common in women less than 20 years of age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The least common cause of dystocia is disproportion of the pelvis.
