Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Early and frequent ambulation is essential to reduce the risk of thromboembolism, one of the leading causes of maternal death.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A new baby is very threatening to small children, who are afraid parents will love the baby more than them. They are often jealous of the attention given to the newborn. Regression is a common response to anxiety.
