Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Dyspnea and angina with mild exertion are not expected with class II heart disease even during pregnancy, but are symptoms seen in class IV heart disease.
Rationale 2: Cesarean birth is undertaken only for cardiac patients for fetal or maternal intrapartal indications, not for cardiac reasons alone.
Rationale 3: Lumbar epidural analgesia decreases the stress response during labor, while vacuum extraction or forceps decreases maternal pushing efforts. Both of these decrease stress on the heart during birth.
Rationale 4: 3+ pre-tibial edema is never an expected finding during pregnancy. Pulse over 100 and respiratory rate over 24 are indicators of cardiac decompensation.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 3. Telangiectatic nevi (stork bites) appear as pale pink or red spots and are frequently found on the eyelids, nose, lower occipital bone, and nape of the neck.
