Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The birth of an infant alters family relationships and structures; family dynamics will change with the birth of an infant. Childbirth is usually a normal and healthy event. Given professional support and guidance, the pregnant woman is able to make decisions about her prenatal care. Maintaining a focus on family or other support can benefit a woman as she seeks to maintain her health throughout pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The use of so-called twilight sleep led to maternal confusion, disorientation, and heavy sedation and thus affected the mother's level of consciousness. Twilight sleep is the use of scopolamine and a narcotic to provide adequate pain relief during the labor and birth process. As a result of the use of this method, decreased maternal-infant bonding was observed because the client was confused, disoriented, and heavily sedated from the effects of the drug. There is no relationship between the incidence of puerperal infections and the use of twilight sleep.
