Answer to Question 1

B
Mary's contraction pattern represents hyperstimulation, and there is inadequate resting time between contractions to allow for placental perfusion.

Answer to Question 2

C
As research began to identify the benefits of early extended parent-infant contact, parents began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into the practice of rooming-in and finally to family-centered maternity care.
