Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Prenatal classes include such topics as infant care, breastfeeding, gestational diabetes, exercising, and sibling and grandparent preparation. Yoga and financial information are not traditional content for prenatal instruction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
First stage breathing includes the techniques of modified pace breathing and patterned paced breathing, which are types of abdominal breathing techniques. These patterns of breathing will help a woman in labor to focus and reduce pain perception. The fourth stage of labor is the woman's recovery stage and does not require a breathing technique.
