Answer to Question 1

D
Abuse can initiate preterm labor. Physical abuse can also lead to such complications as miscarriage, abdominal trauma, abruptio placenta, and fetal injury. There are psychological consequences as well, including insomnia, panic attacks, depression, and bonding and breastfeeding issues after delivery. Hypertension of pregnancy, placenta previa, and excessive birth weight are not associated with abuse.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Prolonged rupture of membranes, intrauterine growth restriction, intrauterine fetal death, and renal agenesis (Potter syndrome) all put the patient at risk for developing oligohydramnios.
B Polyhydramnios or amniotic fluid in excess of 2000 ml is 10 times more likely to occur in diabetic rather than nondiabetic pregnancies. This will put the mother at risk for premature rupture of membranes, premature labor, and postpartum hemorrhage.
C Anencephaly, placental insufficiency, and perinatal hypoxia all contribute to the risk for postterm pregnancy.
D Maternal age greater than 35 and balanced translocation (maternal and paternal) are risk factors for chromosome abnormalities.
