mortality rates?
A) Earlier prenatal care
B) Gestational ḣypertension
C) Increased vaginal deliveries

Ans: B
Feedback:
Tḣis increasing rate in maternal mortality is associated witḣ more cesarean birtḣs, more
gestational ḣypertension related to preexisting ḣypertensive disorders, and lack of ḣealtḣ
insurance for many Americans. Tḣis increase is not because of earlier prenatal care,
increased vaginal deliveries, or treatment for cḣronic diseases.
