Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because nonpharmacologic pain management does not include analgesics, adjunct drugs, or anesthesia, it is harmless to the mother and the fetus. There is less pain relief with nonpharmacologic pain management during childbirth. Pain management may or may not alter the length of labor. At times, when pain is decreased, the mother relaxes and labor progresses at a quicker pace. The woman's alertness is not altered by medication, but the increase in pain will decrease alertness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The latent phase of labor is the best time for intrapartum teaching because the woman is usually anxious enough to be attentive yet comfortable enough to understand the teaching. During the active phase, the woman is focused internally and unable to concentrate on teaching. During the second stage, the woman is focused on pushing. She normally handles the pain better at this point because she is active in doing something to hasten the birth. During transition, the woman is focused on keeping control; she is unable to focus on anyone else or learn at this time.
