Answer to Question 1

3
1. Incorrect. The cramping that causes afterbirth pains is caused by periodic vigorous con-tractions and relaxation persisting through the first part of the postpartum.
2. Incorrect. Afterbirth pains are more common in multiparous women because first-time mothers have better uterine tone.
3. Correct. A large baby or multiple babies overdistend the uterus.
4. Incorrect. Breastfeeding intensifies afterbirth pains because it stimulates contractions.

Answer to Question 2

2
1. Incorrect. Although culture may play a part in the decision-making process of a family, ultimately values and beliefs dictate the course of action taken by family members.
2. Correct. Values and beliefs are the most prevalent factors that affect the decision-making and problem-solving techniques in families.
3. Incorrect. Boundaries and channels affect the relationship between the family members and the health care team, not the decisions within the family.
