Answer to Question 1

ANS: b
The nurse is using reflection to acknowledge the woman's concerns and asks for further assessment. The woman's fear must first be acknowledged and then other questions or comments can be made.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: a
Once the cervix is fully dilated and the vertex is low in the pelvis and the woman feels the urge to push, she will involuntarily bear down. This is activated when the presenting part as it descends stretches the pelvic floor muscles and triggers the Ferguson reflex.
