Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Restlessness, trembling of the legs, nausea, and vomiting are common during transition. The other responses relate to other phases of labor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In the active phase, the maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate should be assessed every 30 minutes. Comfort measures should include nonpharmacologic interventions such as a back rub, a cool cloth to the head, and oral hygiene. The woman usually is somewhat fearful at this stage and will probably want a companion to remain with her.
