Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A doula is a person other than a family member or friend who is trained to provide labor support and act as family advocate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Pain expression varies with cultural background. To avoid bringing shame on the family, some women may not express pain outwardly. Others may be vocally expressive during labor and will cry out or moan with contractions.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
