Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The patient is verbalizing symptoms consistent with supine hypotension syndrome, in which compression of the vena cava by the uterus reduces right atrial blood flow. Signs and symptoms include decreased blood pressure, dizziness, pallor, and clamminess. Appropriate interventions include having the woman lie on her left side, or placing a pillow or wedge under her right hip as she lies in a supine position.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA) does not advocate a particular method of childbirth preparation but rather promotes a philosophy of freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives.
Rationale 2: Education regarding the various childbirth preparation classes should be provided, and the woman should choose the option she deems best.
Rationale 3: Education regarding the various childbirth preparation classes should be provided, and the woman should choose the option she deems best.
Rationale 4: International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA) educators often teach a combination of techniques designed to meet individual needs and assist the partner in supporting the woman during labor and birth.
