Answer to Question 1

Answer:4

Rationale 1: Chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, and hypotension are symptoms of amniotic embolism, which occurs more commonly with hydramnios. Hydramnios occurs in 10-20 of pregnant diabetics. Renal malformation or dysfunction and postmaturity can cause oligohydramnios. Large for gestational age infants and placenta previa are not associated with hydramnios.
Rationale 2: Chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, and hypotension are symptoms of amniotic embolism, which occurs more commonly with hydramnios. Hydramnios occurs in 10-20 of pregnant diabetics. Renal malformation or dysfunction and postmaturity can cause oligohydramnios. Large for gestational age infants and placenta previa are not associated with hydramnios.
