Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In the active phase of stage 1, contractions are about 2 to 5 minutes apart, with a duration of about 40 to 60 seconds and an intensity that ranges from moderate to strong. During the latent phase of stage 1, the interval between contractions shortens until contractions are about 5 minutes apart. Duration increases to 30 to 40 seconds by the end of the latent phase. During stage 2, latent phase, the woman is resting and preparing to push; she likely has not experienced the Ferguson reflex. She is actively bearing down during the active phase of the second stage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Ashkenazi Jewish ethnic group is at higher risk for Tay-Sachs disease. The black African, Mediterranean, and Southern and Southeast Asian ethnicities are at higher risk for sickle cell anemia disease.
