Answer to Question 1

D
The short duration of analgesic effect is a main disadvantage, with concern that the labor may last longer than the duration of the analgesia. The need for strict bed rest and the high incidence of maternal hypotension are not associated with intrathecal opioids. While decreased motor ability might occur as a result of maternal sedation, this is not a MAIN disadvantage.

Answer to Question 2

B, E
Examples of movement of health care into the community would include the APN providing care in neighborhood clinics and NPs running redi clinics' in drug stores, grocery stores, and shopping malls.
