Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Although the death rate has decreased, the United States still ranks last in infant mortality among nations with a population of at least 25 million. The United States has the highest infant death rate of developed nations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Sacral pressure can be combined with thermal stimulation to increase effectiveness.
The hand may be moved slowly over the area or remain positioned directly over the sacrum, but pressure should be continuous and firm throughout the contraction. Care should be taken not to jiggle the woman, which may be irritating.
