Answer to Question 1

ANS:
C, B, D, F, A, G, E

The process by which a normal vaginal delivery is accomplished requires the infant to make the descent into the birth canal, engage, flex and internally rotate, and extend and externally rotate to be expelled.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E
Painless tightening of abdominal muscles (Braxton-Hicks contractions) and cervix thick and not effaced lend to the determination of false (prodromal) labor. Leaking of vaginal fluid may indicate rupture of membranes and is a sign of true labor. Contractions that intensify with ambulation and pink spotting (bloody show) are signs of true labor.
