Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Describing the frequency of the contractions is not usually helpful. When the contraction is most intense, the coach can tell her that this contraction will be over soon to help her remain focused. The increment occurs as the contraction begins in the fundus and spreads through the uterus. Calling attention to this phase may cause the woman to tense up. The woman does not need anyone to tell her that the contraction is decreasing in intensity.
