Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When experiencing excessive pain, the woman may react with a stress response that diverts blood flow from the uterus and the fetus. Excessive pain may prolong the labor because of increased anxiety in the woman. It may affect the outcome of the labor, depending on the cause and the effect on the woman. Pain is considered normal for labor. However, excessive pain may be an indication of other problems and must be assessed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A pudendal block anesthetizes the lower vagina and perineum to provide anesthesia for an episiotomy and use of low forceps, if needed. A local provides anesthesia for the perineum at the site of the episiotomy. An epidural provides anesthesia for the uterus, perineum, and legs. A spinal block provides anesthesia for the uterus, perineum, and down the legs.
