ANS: B, D, E
Music can help create a relaxing environment and boost spirits. During labor, music provides comfort and decreases maternal anxiety by stimulating the release of endorphins. Comforting music during labor promotes maternal relaxation, thereby increasing oxygen intake. Some women find that music enhances their ability to remain focused during contractions. Decreasing anxiety and pain will decrease oxygen requirements.
