Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. Some yoga positions such as lying on the abdomen or on the back are not recommended in the second or third trimester.
2. The nurse educates that as the center of balance shifts with the advancing size of the uterus, care must be taken when assuming poses that require balance.
3. Stretching should be done with caution because of relaxed ligaments in the pelvis.
4. Some yoga positions such as lying on the abdomen or on the back are not recommended in the second or third trimester.

Answer to Question 2

An amniotic fluid embolism

Anaphylactoid syndrome of pregnancy (ASP) is more commonly known as amniotic fluid embolism. This is a rare but devastating complication of pregnancy. It is characterized by the sudden, acute onset of hypoxia, hypotension or cardiac arrest, and coagulopathy. ASP can occur during labor, birth, or within 30 minutes after birth. This clinical presentation is similar to that observed in patients with anaphylactic or septic shock. In both of these conditions, a foreign substance is introduced into the circulation.
