Answer to Question 1

Feedback
A Back labor is seen mostly when the fetus is in the posterior position.
B Back labor is seen mostly when the fetus is in the posterior position.
C Back labor is seen mostly when the fetus is in the posterior position.
D In the left occiput posterior position, each contraction pushes the fetal head

increased pain perception, and reduced ability to use coping skills.
