prevents hypotonic dysfunction.
B There is no indication that this woman's uterus is overdistended, which is the
main cause of hypotonic dysfunction.
C Overdistention of the uterus in a multiple pregnancy is associated with hypotonic
dysfunction because the stretched uterine muscle contracts poorly.

indication of an overdistended uterus.
