Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Sources of pain during labor include pressure and pulling of the pelvic structures, distention and stretching of the vagina and perineum, the size and position of the fetus, and fear and anxiety (which exaggerates the pain sensation of the labor contraction). Dilation (not contraction) and stretching of the cervix also contribute to labor pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Administration of drugs to raise the gastric pH and make secretions less acidic reduces the risk of lung injury if aspiration occurs. General anesthesia puts the woman at risk for regurgitation and aspiration of gastric contents. Gastric contents are highly acidic and can produce chemical pneumonitis if aspirated.
