Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: There is a risk of preterm birth, rupture of membranes, and low birth weight.
Rationale 2: This is a false statement. Rupturing the membranes would lead to premature birth.
Rationale 3: There is a risk of a low-birth weight baby, due to premature birth.
Rationale 4: Partners should avoid intercourse until both are cured.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: A BPP of 8 is reassuring, and follow-up normally occurs in 12 weeks.
Rationale 2: Returning in 34 weeks is not soon enough.
Rationale 3: Returning in 56 weeks is not soon enough.
Rationale 4: Returning in 78 weeks is not soon enough.
