Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Alternative birthing centers are wellness-oriented childbirth facilities. These facilities are located near an acute care hospital in the event a physician is needed for the birthing process. Alternative birthing centers do not promote nor condone any specific action such as breastfeeding. Because a birthing center is located near a hospital, they are safer than home deliveries.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
To be a candidate for a home birth, a woman should be in good overall health. A family history of easy labor is not a criterion for a home birth. Avoiding prenatal care might jeopardize the patient's health status, leading to her not being a candidate for a home birth. Being intimidated by hospitals is not a criterion for a home birth.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
