Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Respirations up to 40 breaths/min and shallow is a level of breathing when cervical dilation is between 4 and 6 cm. Slow deep chest breathing of comfortable but full respirations at a rate of 6 to 12 breaths/min is used for early contractions in labor when the cervical dilation is between 0 and 3 cm. More rapid breathing at a rate of 50 to 70 breaths/min is used when cervical dilation is between 7 and 10 cm.

Answer to Question 2

C, E
Feedback:
Mother-friendly hospitals approach birth as a healthy and joyous experience. The patient should expect to receive accurate information about procedures, drugs, and tests and receive support for making informed choices about what is best for the baby. To qualify as a mother-friendly hospital, there should not be routine policies for fetal monitoring, perineal shaving, admission enemas, or artificial rupturing of the membranes.
