Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Chinese women may not show reactions to pain. Medical interventions must be offered more than once.
B Arab or Middle Eastern women may be vocal in response to labor pain from the start. They may prefer pain medications.
C Hispanic women may be stoic early, more vocal and ready for medications later.
D African-American women may express pain openly; use of medications for pain is more likely to vary with the individual.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because the pressure of the occiput is against the sacral nerves with posterior presentations, contractions with the LOP or ROP are felt primarily in the lower back. A breech presentation does not produce labor contractions felt primarily in the back. A brow presentation is very rare, because the normal position of the fetus is flexion. With anterior presentations (LOA or ROA), the contractions are felt primarily in the front.
