Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The supine position allows the heavy uterus to compress the inferior vena cava
and can reduce placental blood flow, compromising fetal oxygen supply.
B The sitting position allows gravity to assist in the descent of the fetus.
C The side-lying position is comfortable for most mothers, and it allows for
adequate placental blood flow.
D Standing and walking may be comfortable for some women. This does not
prevent adequate placental blood flow and can be encouraged if there are no
other contraindications.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Respirations can be altered during general anesthesia, and the anesthesiologist
will take precautions to maintain proper oxygenation.
B Uterine relaxation can occur with some anesthesia, but this can be monitored and
prevented.
C Inadequate muscle relaxation can be altered. This is not the greatest risk for the
mother.
D Aspiration of acidic gastric contents and possible airway obstruction is a
potentially fatal complication of general anesthesia.
