Answer to Question 2

2. In placenta accreta, the placenta adheres in varied amounts to the myometrium. Use of intravenous antibiotics will not assist in the separation of the placenta.
3. In placenta accreta, the placenta adheres in varied amounts to the myometrium. Use of intravenous oxytocin will not assist in the separation of the placenta.
4. In placenta accreta, the placenta adheres in varied amounts to the myometrium. If hemorrhage occurs or the placenta fails to separate, the mother might need a hysterectomy.
