Question

question 6: a preterm birth is defined as ____. a birth that occurs prior to the due date a birth via caesarian section a birth that occurs prior to 36 weeks a labor that lasts less than 12 hours

Explanation:

A preterm birth is specifically defined as a birth that occurs prior to 37 - week gestation. Among the options, a birth that occurs prior to 36 weeks best aligns with the general concept of preterm birth. A birth prior to the due - date is too broad, a birth via cesarean section is about the mode of delivery, and a labor that lasts less than 12 hours is about the duration of labor, not related to preterm birth.

Answer:

C. A birth that occurs prior to 36 weeks
