Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Women who have a cesarean birth face increased challenges, including delayed bonding, pain from surgical incisions and intestinal gas, an increased risk for deep vein thrombosis, and a slower start and pace of ambulation. Difficulty choosing an infant feeding method is not a typical challenge faced only by women who have experienced a cesarean birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The infant demonstrates readiness for feeding when he or she begins to stir, bobs the head against the mattress or the mother's neck or shoulder, makes movements of the mouth, makes hand-to-mouth or hand-to-hand movements, exhibits sucking or licking, exhibits rooting, and demonstrates increased activity with the arms and legs flexed and the hands in a fist.
