Answer to Question 1

A
Macrosomia and shoulder dystocia are two of the more common fetal risks in postterm pregnancy. Placenta previa is not a condition associated with postterm pregnancy. Although PIH can occur, postterm pregnancy is not a major cause of PIH. Disseminated intravascular coagulation is usually secondary to a hemorrhagic condition.

Answer to Question 2

D, F
Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from clinical depression. They are also more likely to attempt suicide and less likely to die because methods used by men are more lethal, such as guns. Women who have a history of substance abuse or physical or sexual abuse are particularly at risk for depression. The most common treatments for depression include medication and psychotherapy. The aim of antidepressants is to normalize serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, neurotransmitters that are naturally occurring brain chemicals
involved in mood regulation
