Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A technique to encourage relaxation and displace pain in the Lamaze method is effleurage, which is French for light abdominal massage.. This action is done by tracing a pattern on the abdomen with the fingertips. Effleurage is not breathing into a paper bag to prevent dizziness, holding the breath and pushing with contractions, or massaging the uterine fundus at the peak of each contraction.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
Feedback:
The positional changes that occur as the fetus moves through the passageway are called the cardinal movements of labor and include engagement, descent, flexion, internal rotation, extension, external rotation, and expulsion. The fetus does not undergo abduction or pronation.
