Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Somatic pain is sharp, intense, well-localized, burning, or prickling pain felt during the second stage of labor. It is caused by stretching of the perineal body, distention and traction, and soft tissue lacerations. Visceral pain is predominant during the first stage of labor. This deep, dull and aching, poorly localized pain is usually felt only during contractions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Anxiety and fear stimulate the release of catecholamines and heighten the sensation of pain. Decreased fear leads to relaxation and less pain. The other options do not show decreased fear.
