Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Visceral pain is that which predominates in the first stage of labor. This pain originates from cervical changes, distention of the lower uterine segment, and uterine ischemia. Visceral pain is located over the lower portion of the abdomen.
B As labor progresses, the woman often experiences referred pain. This occurs when pain that originates in the uterus radiates to the abdominal wall, the lum-bosacral area of the back, the gluteal area, and thighs. The woman usually has pain only during a contraction and is free from pain between contractions.
C Somatic pain is described as intense, sharp, burning, and well localized. This results from stretching of the perineal tissues and the pelvic floor. This occurs during the second stage of labor.
D Pain experienced during the third stage of labor or afterward during the early postpartum period is uterine. This pain is very similar to that experienced in the first stage of labor.
