Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A The football position usually is preferred after cesarean birth.
B Women with perineal pain and swelling prefer the side-lying position because they can rest while breastfeeding.
C The infant inevitably faces the mother, belly to belly.
D The mother should never push on the back of the head. It may cause the baby to bite, hyperextend the neck, or develop an aversion to being brought near the breast.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, F
Estrogen plays an integral role by increasing blood flow to the uterus by promoting vasodilation; changing the sensitivity of the respiratory system to carbon dioxide; softening the cervix, initiating uterine activity, and maintaining labor; and developing the breasts in preparation for lactation and secretion of prolactin by the pituitary gland. Progesterone relaxes the smooth muscle of the uterus to prevent spontaneous abortion and works to prevent a
maternal immunologic response to the fetus.
