Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances result from persistent nausea and vomiting associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. Dehydration impairs the perfusion to the placenta.

ANS:
B, C, A

For fathers, the announcement phase begins when pregnancy is confirmed. The second phase of the father's response is the adjustment phase. The third phase of the father's response is the focus phase, in which active plans for participation in the labor process, birth, and change in lifestyle result in the partner feeling like a father.
