Answer to Question 1

B
A woman who has a short perineum may experience extension of a midline episiotomy into the rectum. A mediolateral episiotomy does not extend into the rectum.

Answer to Question 2

A
DIC develops when the blood-clotting factor thromboplastin is released into the maternal bloodstream as a result of placental bleeding. Thromboplastin activates widespread clotting, which uses the available fibrinogen, resulting in a decreased fibrinogen level.
The platelet count will decrease.
The hematocrit may decrease if bleeding is pronounced.
The thromboplastin time is prolonged.
