Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The sutures and fontanels allow the bones of the fetal head to move slightly, changing the shape of the fetal head so it can adapt to the size and shape of the pelvis. Lightening is the descent of the fetus toward the pelvic inlet before labor. Lie is the relationship of the long axis of the fetus to the long axis of the mother. Presentation is the fetal part that first enters the pelvic outlet.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The active phase of labor for a nullipara lasts 8 to 10 hours. The second phase of labor lasts 50 minutes for a nullipara. The transition phase lasts 3 1/2 hours for a nullipara. A multipara's active phase of labor is 6 to 7 hours.
