Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Because a low segment incision is through the nonactive portion of the uterus, it is less likely to rupture in subsequent labors, making it possible for a woman to have a vaginal birth after cesarean with a future pregnancy. This type of incision is not vertical. The cervix is not cut with this type of incision. This type of incision has no impact on the ability to resuscitate the infant if necessary.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
A cesarean delivery may be advantageous for a preterm birth to avoid pressure on the fetal head. A cesarean birth does not reduce the amount of postpartum pain. The health care provider does not want to use a cesarean birth because it is more convenient. A cesarean birth does not necessarily allow the placenta to deliver easier.
