Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As muscle tension increases due to fear or anxiety, the effectiveness of uterine contractions decreases. Maternal pain is intensified. This leads to decreased labor progress.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The birth ball helps with comfort and fetal descent during labor. The patient is using it correctly; the two methods are moving it in a circle and rocking back and forth. The nurse should assess her response to this modality and document it. There is no time restriction on using a birth ball.
