Answer to Problem 29A
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (A) The amniotic sac has torn.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (A) The amniotic sac has torn. The fluid-filled membranous sac called an amniotic sac that envelope the infant. Normally, the membranes can break down at the onset or during labor — also known as water breaks. When the water breaks before labor begins, it is called prelabor rupture of membranes. So, this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (B) There is a lot of pressure on her bladder. If a pregnant woman says that her water has broken that means her amniotic sac has torn. So, this is an incorrect answer
Option (C) The yolk sac has torn. Water broke means the amniotic sac is torn not the yolk sac. So this is an incorrect option.
Option (D) The placenta is leaking. When the amniotic sac is torn then it means that the pregnant lady’s lady water is broken. So, this is an incorrect option.
