Answer to Question 1

D
The vastus lateralis muscle is located away from the sciatic nerve and femoral blood vessels.
Gluteal muscles are not used until a child has been walking for at least 1 year to develop these muscles.
The rectus femoris is used only if absolutely necessary because this muscle is located nearer to the sciatic nerve and blood vessels, which poses a greater danger.
The deltoid is not a recommended site for newborn injections.

Answer to Question 2

C
A doula is a trained labor support person who is employed by the mother to provide labor support. She gives physical support such as massage and helps with relaxation and provides emotional support and advocacy throughout labor.
A doula is a trained labor support person.
A doula is usually not a relative of the woman.
