Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A doula is a person other than a family member or friend who is trained to provide labor support and act as family advocate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Pain expression varies with cultural background. To avoid bringing shame on the family, some women may not express pain outwardly. Others may be vocally expressive during labor and will cry out or moan with contractions.
