Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Monozygotic twins, also known as identical twins, originate from one fertilized ovum and share a placenta. Monozygotic twins carry the same genetic code. Dizygotic twins are the result of two separate ova being fertilized at the same time.
Question 4 of 5
What complication of delivery should the nurse expect with the birth of multiple fetuses?
