Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Factors that increase the risk of thromboembolic disease during pregnancy are vena cava compression, increased coagulability, and decreased fibrinolysis. Compression of the vena cava by the gravid uterus impedes venous return.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Both preeclampsia and eclampsia are characterized by hypertension, but only eclampsia involves the central nervous system. Therefore, seizures are more likely with eclampsia.
