Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C
Birthing centers are ideal only for women who are considered low risk. Cesarean deliveries would not be done in a birthing center. The mother with preeclampsia would be considered high risk and would probably be excluded from delivering in the birthing center. The number of previous pregnancies, sex of the baby, and mother's support system would not be factors considered when determining risk for delivering in a birthing center.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: E
The LOT position is left occiput transverse.
