Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Panting relaxes the abdominal wall and distracts the patient. It would not be helpful to offer fluids or to attempt conversation during contractions. Walking intensifies contractions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hyperventilation is sometimes a problem if a woman is breathing rapidly.
