Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Chadwick's sign is the bluish discoloration of the cervix and vagina seen in pregnant women secondary to the increased blood flow to the area. It is not an indication of cyanosis, but actually the exact opposite, with increased oxygen to the pelvis.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Including a family member in discussions can violate HIPAA
