Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A fetus in the posterior position during labor can cause increased back pain to the mother because it is spine against spine. A Bishop score of 10 indicates that conditions are favorable for induction; the cervix is soft, anterior, effaced, and dilated and the presenting part is engaged. A gynecoid pelvic structure is considered to be an adequate passage for vaginal birth. Ferguson's reflex occurs when a contraction is stimulated as a result of vaginal stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Nonpharmacologic methods of pain management may be the best option for a woman in advanced labor. At 8 cm cervical dilation there probably not enough time remaining to administer spinal anesthesia or epidural anesthesia. A narcotic given at this time may reach its peak at about the time of birth and result in respiratory depression in the newborn.
