Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Hypertonic uterine contractions are painful, frequent, and uncoordinated; do not cause dilation or effacement; and are more common with first pregnancies. Hypotonic contractions tend to be weak, coordinated, and infrequent and do not cause labor to progress.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Rupture of the membranes provides an entry for microorganisms from the vagina, putting both mother and fetus at risk for infection.
