Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Multiparity (five or more deliveries) is a risk factor for postpartum uterine atony and hemorrhage. A labor duration of 4 hours is not a risk factor because it is not a precipitate labor and birth (less than 3 hours), infant weight of 3800 g is not a risk factor because the infant is not macrosomic, and epidural anesthesia is not a risk factor because epidural anesthesia does not affect uterine contractions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Precipitous labor (<3 hemorrhage.
