Answer to Question 1

B
Inserting a finger into the corner of the baby's mouth between the gums to break the suction avoids trauma to the breast.
The infant who is sleeping may lose grasp on the nipple and areola, resulting in chewing on the nipple, making it sore.
A popping sound indicates improper removal of the breast from the baby's mouth and may cause cracks or fissures in the breast.
Most mothers prefer the infant to continue to sleep after the feeding. Gentle wake-up tech-niques are recommended.

Answer to Question 2

C
Rapid, deep respirations cause the laboring woman to lose carbon dioxide through exhalation, resulting in respiratory alkalosis.
Hyperventilation does not cause respiratory acidosis, metabolic acidosis, or metabolic alka-losis.
