Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Any position except the supine position is acceptable during labor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
General anesthesia puts the woman at risk for regurgitation and aspiration of gastric contents. It crosses the placental barrier and the fetus will be under its effects at birth, making establishment of initial respiration difficult. General anesthesia may cause the uterus to relax in the postpartum period, which can contribute to postpartum hemorrhage.
