Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
An outcome that indicates that the patient has less anxiety during labor and delivery would be the use of breathing techniques to control anxiety and pain during labor. Requesting pain medication, using sanitary napkins, and refusing complementary and alternative pain management techniques are not appropriate outcomes for labor and delivery.

Answer to Question 2

B, E, F
Feedback:
As part of the admission physical assessment, the nurse would assess fundal height, membrane status and contractions. Current pregnancy history, support systems, and estimated date of birth would be obtained when collecting the maternal health history.
