Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Anxiety affects a woman's perception of pain. Tension during labor causes tightening of abdominal muscles, impeding contractions and increasing pain by stimulation of nerve endings. A breech presentation does not mean that the woman will experience a painful labor. Lamaze breathing techniques use the mind to prevent pain; they involve concentration and conditioning to help the woman respond to contractions with relaxation to decrease pain. Childbirth preparation classes can help a woman prepare for the pain but will not prevent the woman from experiencing pain during labor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Early pregnancy classes focus on the first two trimesters and cover information on adapting to pregnancy, dealing with early discomforts, and understanding what to expect in the months ahead. Methods of pain relief are discussed in a childbirth preparation class. The phases and stages of labor are usually covered in a childbirth preparation class. Cesarean birth preparation classes discuss prebirth and postbirth of a client having a cesarean birth.
