Answer to Question 1

C
Multiparous women usually have shorter labors than do nulliparous women. The woman de-scribed in option c is multiparous with a history of rapid labors, increasing the likelihood that her infant might be born in uncontrolled circumstances.
A gravida 2 would be expected to have a longer labor than the gravida in option C. The fact that she lives close to the hospital allows her to stay home for a longer period of time.
A gravida 1 will be expected to have the longest labor.
The gravida 2 would be expected to have a longer labor than the gravida 3, especially since her first labor was 16 hours.

Answer to Question 2

C
The mother who is type O has antibodies for both A and B blood types.
