Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 3. The diaphragm should be rechecked for correct size after each childbirth and whenever a woman has gained or lost 10 pounds or more.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Many pregnant women will develop hemorrhoids either during pregnancy or after delivery from the pushing efforts of the second stage of labor. The increased weight of the gravid uterus, combined with constipation, can result in the varicosities' prolapsing.
Rationale 2: It is not is true that most women have no hemorrhoids until after the birth. Many women develop hemorrhoids during pregnancy.
Rationale 3: Although there is a familial tendency to develop varicosities, including hemorrhoids, a family history does not automatically mean that a patient will develop the condition.
Rationale 4: Most hemorrhoids will resolve spontaneously, and will not require surgical intervention.
