Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Women and their partners have time for preparation when they know that they are going to have a cesarean birth. Discussion of preoperative and postoperative procedures is necessary for women having a repeat cesarean birth because the first cesarean birth may have been an emergency, with limited time for explanations and reassurance. Even if the first birth was a planned cesarean, preoperative and postoperative procedures should be reviewed with the family. The risks and recovery time of repeat cesarean births are not necessarily lower or faster than the previous surgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Overdistention of the uterus from a multiple birth places a woman at greater risk for postpartum hemorrhage than a woman who delivers a singleton.
