Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Obesity in children and adolescents is defined as a body mass index at or greater than the 95th percentile for youth of the same age and gender.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
During labor contractions, the maternal blood supply to the placenta gradually stops as the spiral arteries supplying the intervillous space are compressed by the contracting uterine muscle. The exchange of oxygen and waste products is affected by contractions. The exchange of oxygen and waste products decreases. The maternal blood supply to the placenta gradually stops with contractions.
