Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Signs of approaching labor can include lightening, bloody show, energy spurt (nesting behavior), increased Braxton-Hicks contractions (false labor), and spontaneous rupture of membranes. (Cervical changes also occur, but a woman may not be aware of them.) Any of these signs may indicate that labor is likely to occur soon. With the exception of a rupture of membranes, it may not be necessary for the woman to consult her health care provider when these events happen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
The four Ps, pelvis, passenger, powers, and psyche, are essential components of the labor and birth process, requiring both maternal and fetal adaptations.
