Answer to Question 1

ANS: plasma fibrinogen
Levels of plasma fibrinogen tend to remain elevated during the first few postpartal weeks. Although this alteration exerts a protective effect against hemorrhage, it increases the patient's risk of thrombus formation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: True
Risk factors for amniotic fluid embolism include induction of labor, maternal age over 35, operative delivery, placenta previa, abruptio placenta, polyhydramnios, eclampsia, and cervical or uterine lacerations.
