Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Childbirth pain differs from other types of pain because it is part of a normal, natural, and expected process, can be relieved by change of position, declines immediately following birth, and is self-limiting. Childbirth pain requires pharmacological management with narcotics in many cases.

The Dick-Read method depends on the use of relaxation techniques to reduce the discomforts of labor.
