Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A When the membranes rupture, microorganisms from the vagina can ascend into the amniotic sac, causing chorioamnionitis and placentitis.
B Rupture of membranes (ROM) is not associated with fetal or maternal bleeding.
C Although ROM may increase the intensity of contractions and facilitate active labor, it does not result in precipitous labor.
D ROM has no correlation with supine hypotension.
