2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Non Pharmacological pain relief Cutaneous Stimulation strategies.
Answer: Counter pressure
Effleurage (light massage)
Therapeutic touch and massage
Walking
Rocking
Changing positions
Application of heat or cold
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
Accupressure
Water therapy i.e. baths, showers, whirlpools
Intradermal water block
◉ Non Pharmacological pain relief
Sensory Stimulation strategies. Answer: Aromatherapy
Breathing techniques
Music
,Imagery
Use of focal points
◉ Non Pharmacological pain relief
Cognitive strategies. Answer: Childbirth education
Hypnosis
Biofeedback
◉ cardinal movements of the mechanism of labor. Answer:
Engagement and descent
Flexion
Internal rotation to occipitoanterior
position
Extension
External rotation beginning (restitution)
External rotation
expulsion
◉ Engagement. Answer: when the fetus moves their head past the
pelvic inlet, the head is said to be engaged. occurs before active
labor, while abdominal muscles are more relaxed.
, ◉ Asynclitism. Answer: Oblique presentation of the fetal head at the
superior strait of the pelvis; the pelvic planes and those of the fetal
head are not parallel
◉ Descent. Answer: refers to the progress of the presenting part
through the pelvis. depends on 4 forces. 1. pressure exerted by the
amniotic fluid. 2. direct pressure exerted by the contracting fundus
on the fetus. 3. Force of the contraction of the maternal diaphragm
and the abdominal muscles in the second stage of labor. 4. extension
and straightening of the fetal body
◉ Stations of descent. Answer:
◉ Flexion. Answer: as soon as the head reaches resistance from the
cervix, pelvic wall or pelvic floor. it normally flexes so the chin makes
contact with the fetal chest
◉ Internal Rotation. Answer: The maternal pelvic inlet is widest in
the transverse diameter, therefore the fetal head passes the inlet into
the true pelvis in the occipitotransverse position. for the fetus to exit
the head must rotate. internal rotation begins at the level of the
ischial spines but is not complete until the presenting part reaches
the lower pelvis. as the occiput rotates anteriorly the face rotates
posteriorly. with each contraction the pelvic bones and muscles
guide the fetal head. almost always rotated by the time it reaches
pelvic floor
