Answer to Question 1

C
You explanation would include that jaundice results from the normal breakdown of red blood cells and the infant's immature liver.

C
Bleeding and cramping at 9-weeks indicates a spontaneous abortion, but the fact that the cervix is still closed indicates a threatened abortion. Cervical dilation would occur with an incomplete abortion, inevitable abortion, and a missed abortion
