Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Delivery of multiple fetuses is often complicated by loss of uterine tone. Oftentimes multiple fetuses are delivered by cesarean. An ectopic tendency would present before delivery. While it can be difficult to breastfeed multiple infants, this does not relate to the delivery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Engorgement is the result of venous and lymphatic stasis (congestion). Emptying the breast at each feeding, the infant grasping the nipple firmly, and the infant's mouth surrounding the areola when feeding are all measures that will aid in decreasing engorgement.
