Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. Bathing, whether it is a tub bath or shower, is as important (if not more so) during menses as at any other time.
2. Bathing, whether it is a tub bath or shower, is as important (if not more so) during menses as at any other time. Douching should be avoided during menstruation.
3. Bathing, whether it is a tub bath or shower, is as important (if not more so) during menses as at any other time.
4. Bathing, whether it is a tub bath or shower, is as important (if not more so) during menses as at any other time. Feminine deodorant sprays are unnecessary.

Answer to Question 2

D
Increased clotting factors result in hypercoagulability, which increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Hypertension is caused by increased vascular resistance. Gestational diabetes is caused by insulin needs surpassing the output of the pancreas. A number of factors can lead to preterm labor, but increased clotting factors are not among the causes.
