Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. Tylenol is the medication recommended by pediatricians for its antipyretic action, and also because it has a minimum of side effects in the proper form and dose.
2. Aspirin, while also an antipyretic, has been connected to Reye's syndrome, and is not recommended.
3. Advil and Motrin are similar nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and are not recommended for infants.
4. Advil and Motrin are similar nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and are not recommended for infants.

Answer to Question 2

D
Irritability and exhibiting anger toward the labor coach are characteristic of transition from the first stage to the second stage of labor.
