Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: The fetus changes position in the following order: descent, engagement, flexion, internal rotation, extension, restitution, external rotation, and expulsion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Increased pulse is a manifestation of pain, but it does not impede labor.
Rationale 2: Elevated blood pressure is a manifestation of pain, but it does not impede labor.
Rationale 3: Muscle tension can impede labor progress by increased oxygen and calorie consumption and by creating a mechanical obstruction that the uterine contractions must overcome to achieve labor progress.
Rationale 4: Increased respiration is a manifestation of pain, but it does not impede labor.
