Answer to Question 1

A
Due to the increased release of oxytocin during breastfeeding, uterine contractions tend to be greater during and after breastfeeding. Eating, emptying the Foley catheter bag, and sleeping in a completely supine position will not impact on afterpains.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E, F
Sichel and Driscoll (1999) developed a program called NURSE and involves nourishment, understanding, rest and relaxation, spirituality, and exercise. It does not focus on medical treatment.
