Question

which of the following is true of artificially induced labor? it increases the chances of both an epidural and a c - section. it puts the baby at a much higher risk of infant mortality. it makes contractions less painful. it slows down the newborn’s reflexes.

Explanation:

Artificially - induced labor can increase the likelihood of needing an epidural for pain management and may also raise the chances of a cesarean - section due to various factors such as failed induction or non - reassuring fetal status during labor. There is no evidence to suggest that it puts the baby at a much higher risk of infant mortality, makes contractions less painful (in fact, contractions may be more intense and less coordinated in induced labor), or slows down the newborn's reflexes.

Answer:

It increases the chances of both an epidural and a c - section.
