Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Narcotic antagonists administered to the laboring woman reverse the analgesic effects of her pain medication, and the pain will return.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Cutaneous stimulation, such as counterpressure applied to the sacral area, helps provide pain relief by closing the gate to transmission of pain impulses to the brain. The other pain relief measures are not usually as effective for back pain during labor.
