A woman asks the nurse to explain why an incompetent cervix has caused her to lose two pregnancies. The best response is:
a.   “As the baby grows, your cervix doesn’t stay closed to keep the baby in the uterus.”
b.   “Your cervix is closed so tightly that adequate blood can’t reach the baby.”
c.   “Your cervix is not allowing enough sperm to reach the ovum.”
d.   “Your uterus is more irritable because of scarring on the cervix.”
