Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Higher prostaglandin levels correspond to higher labor pains.
2. Incorrect. Upright positions in labor usually result in better comfort and less pain.
3. Incorrect. Moving freely to find more comfortable positions is important in reducing pain and muscle tension.
4. Correct. Higher endorphin levels help women tolerate pain and reduce anxiety and irri-tability.

Answer to Question 2

3
1, 2, 4. Incorrect. This infant is macrosomic and at risk for hypoglycemia. The description of the infant above is indicative of a macrosomic infant. The tremors are jitteriness that is associated with hypoglycemia.
3. Correct. Hypoglycemia is common in the macrosomic infant. Signs of hypoglycemia include jitteriness, apnea, tachypnea, and cyanosis.
