Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The pudendal block does not block pain from contractions and is given just before birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
According to the gate control theory, stimulating large-diameter nerve fibers temporarily interferes with conduction of impulses through small-diameter fibers. Massage is a technique that stimulates large-diameter fibers and closes the gate.
