Answer to Question 1

C
A prolapsing of the cord is a common breech presentation complication that can be facilitated by rupture of the membranes. While checking the fetal heart rate, noting the color of amniotic fluid and taking maternal vital signs are appropriate actions, in a breech presentation the priority is checking for the prolapsed cord.

Answer to Question 2

viability
In the past, the earliest age at which fetal survival could be expected was 28 weeks after
conception. With modern technology and advancements in maternal and neonatal care,
viability is now possible at 20 weeks after conception (22 weeks after last menstrual period
LMP, fetal weight of 500 g or more).
