Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Placenta implantation problems are more common after cesarean birth, and increase health care costs because of the high risk care and testing required.
Rationale 2: Which anesthesia method is used is not a significant factor in health care costs of cesarean birth by request. The need for anesthesia, use of the operating suite, equipment use, personnel, and other factors are more responsible for greater costs of cesarean birth compared with vaginal birth.
Rationale 3: This is not a complication of cesarean birth by request.
Rationale 4: The income of the couple does not affect health care costs directly.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 4. Trauma from motor vehicle accidents is the leading cause of fetal and maternal death.
