Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: This position is not supportive of labor and birth.
Rationale 2: Effleurage is light massage that can soothe the mother during labor.
Rationale 3: Kegel exercises will not help the mother work with her labor.
Rationale 4: Pushing is not done during the first stage of labor.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 4. Because her cognitive development is incomplete, the younger adolescent may have fewer problem-solving capabilities. The very young woman needs someone to rely on at all times during labor. She may be more childlike and dependent than older teens.
