Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
: Tailor sitting stretches perineal muscles without occluding the blood supply to the lower legs. This exercise stretches perineal muscles to aid in the delivery process. Tailor sitting does not help with respiratory effort, strengthening abdominal muscles, or improving blood supply to the uterus.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
When the presenting part is above the ischial spines, it is noted as a negative station. Since the measurement is 2 cm, the station would be 2 . A 0 station indicates that the fetal presenting part is at the level of the ischial spines. Positive stations indicate that the presenting part is below the level of the ischial spines.
