Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A blood patch often provides immediate relief for a postspinal headache. An injection of the patient's blood into the site of the spinal block puncture seals the hole, preventing further cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Endorphins, or endogenous opiates, are produced in the anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus as a result of stress. These morphine-like substances appear to raise the pain threshold, helping women better tolerate the pain of labor and birth.
