Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An Rh-negative mother who carries an Rh-positive fetus will develop antibodies against the fetus, which results in the destruction of the fetal blood cells. It is the mother, rather than the fetus, who becomes isoimmunized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Blood trapped behind the separating placenta in abruptio placentae causes severe abdominal pain. The uterus feels rigid and tender. It is most common in the last trimester of pregnancy.
