Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A A gravida 2 is expected to have a longer labor than the gravida 3 . The fact that
she lives close to the hospital allows her to stay home for a longer period of time.
B A gravida 1 is expected to have the longest labor.
C Multiparous women usually have shorter labors than do nulliparous women. The
woman described in option c is multiparous with a history of rapid labors,
increasing the likelihood that her infant might be born in uncontrolled
circumstances.
D The gravida 2 is expected to have a longer labor than the gravida 3, especially
since her first labor was 16 hours.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. This is not a symptom of nipple soreness.
2. This is not a symptom of engorgement.
3. Mastitis is characterized by late-onset nipple pain, followed by shooting pains during and between feedings. The skin of the affected breast becomes pink, flaking, and pruritic.
4. This is not a symptom of the letdown reflex.
