What is a major reason that as recently as 100 years ago, one in every one hundred women died while giving birth?
 
  a. Doctors did not know of the existence of germs, and thus would routinely spread germs to mothers while delivering their babies, causing deadly infections.
  b. There were more home births at that time.
  c. Local or general anesthesia was not routinely given to mothers during labor and delivery.
  d. It was customary for a man to not be present during a birth, thus most births were not attended to by physicians.

Question 2

How does prepared childbirth diminish the pain associated with labor and delivery?
 
  a. With the displacement technique, whereby the mother-to-be funnels her pain to her partner during childbirth.
  b. The fear of the unknown can intensify pain.
  c. With the conditioned pain response method, whereby patients learn to associate a painful stimuli (such as a needle prick) with a pleasant emotion.
  d. A woman is likely to be more educated about the types of pain medications available to her during her labor and delivery.
