Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Hypnosis, imagery, and slow chest breathing – Incorrect; while these techniques can help with general labor pain, they may not be effective for severe back pain due to fetal positioning.
B. Comfort measures, intermittent labor support by the nurse, and reassurance that the pain is temporary – Incorrect; while support is important, it does not directly relieve back pain.
C. Effleurage, ambulation, and frequent position changes – Incorrect; these may help, but they do not directly address back labor.
D. Counterpressure with a fist or tennis ball to the lower back – Correct; back labor is often caused by occiput posterior fetal positioning, and counterpressure helps relieve pain by applying direct pressure to the sacrum.

A. Quickening B. Ballottement C. Lightening D. Nesting

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Quickening – Correct; the first sensation of fetal movement, typically felt between 16-20 weeks of gestation.
B. Ballottement – Incorrect; this refers to a physical examination finding where the fetus rebounds when the cervix is tapped.
C. Lightening – Incorrect; this occurs later in pregnancy when the fetus drops into the pelvis before labor.
