Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. External version is not recommended in cases of placenta previa as it can cause hemorrhage or placenta separation.

B. External version is typically not performed in placenta previa because of the risk of bleeding or placental separation.

C. A breech presentation combined with placenta previa is a contraindication for external version, as attempting the version could cause severe complications.

D. The presence of a breech presentation, in this case, is not the primary reason for the inability to perform an external version. The main concern is placenta previa.

A. “Because you're not eating enough iron-rich foods like meat." B. "Because you are hemoconcentrated the hematocrit dropped after delivery." C. "Because your blood volume has doubled, your hematocrit is lower." D. "This change in hematocrit indicates a postpartum hemorrhage."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. A decrease in hematocrit after delivery is more likely due to physiological changes rather than dietary factors alone, though iron intake is important for overall recovery.

B. Hemoconcentration refers to an increase in hematocrit due to a decrease in plasma volume, but this is not the reason for a decreased hematocrit postpartum.

C. During pregnancy, blood volume increases to support both the mother and fetus. After delivery, plasma volume returns to pre-pregnancy levels, which can cause a relative decrease in hematocrit.

D. A significant drop in hematocrit could indicate postpartum hemorrhage, but a slight drop can be expected as part of normal post-delivery physiology.
