Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
This increasing rate in maternal mortality is associated with more cesarean births, more gestational hypertension related to preexisting hypertensive disorders, and lack of health insurance for many Americans. This increase is not because of earlier prenatal care, increased vaginal deliveries, or treatment for chronic diseases.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A PPD is more serious and persistent than postpartum baby blues.
B PPD is more common among younger mothers and African-American mothers.
C PPD is characterized by a persistent depressed state. The woman is unable to feel
pleasure or love although she is able to care for her infant. She often experiences
generalized fatigue, irritability, little interest in food and sleep disorders.
D Most women need professional help to get through PPD, including
pharmacologic intervention.
