Answer to Question 1

B
ROP is thought to occur as a result of high levels of oxygen in the blood.

Answer to Question 2

C
The anterior-posterior diameter of the head varies with how much it is flexed. In the most favorable situation, the head is fully flexed and the anterior-posterior diameter is the suboc-cipitobregmatic, averaging 9.5 cm.
Descent is the moving of the fetus through the birth canal.
Engagement occurs when the largest diameter of the fetal presenting part has passed the pel-vic outlet.
The station is the relationship of the fetal presenting part to the level of the ischial spine.
