Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Childbirth preparation does not guarantee a pain-free labor. A woman should be
prepared for pain and anesthesia/analgesia realistically.
B Friends and families can be an important source of support if they convey
realistic information about labor pain.
C Preparation allows the woman to rehearse for labor and to learn new skills to
cope with the pain of labor and the expected behavioral changes.
D Women will not always achieve their desired level of pain control by using
nonpharmacologic methods alone.

Answer to Question 2

T
Absent: the amplitude range is undetectable. Minimal: detectable to less than or equal to 5
bpm. Moderate (normal): 6 to 25 bpm. Marked: a range greater than 25 bpm.
