Answer to Question 1

A
Leakage of amniotic fluid is more likely in a postterm pregnancy, resulting in decreased amniotic fluid that can result in variable fetal decelerations because of umbilical cord compression. Macrosomic infant is a fetal complication associated with diabetes. Nuchal cord, also referred to as cord around the neck, is not a condition strongly associated with postterm pregnancy. Placental insufficiency can produce fetal heart tone decelerations, but the key in this question is postterm pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Irritability, fussiness, and feeding difficulties are common manifestations of the neonate having been exposed to cocaine during gestation. The other signs are not common manifestations of the neonate having been exposed to cocaine during gestation.
