Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Endorphins are natural body substances that are similar to morphine and may explain why laboring women need smaller doses of analgesia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
If a laboring woman feels the urge to push before the cervix is fully dilated, then she is taught to blow in short breaths to avoid bearing down.
