Biofeedback is technically defined as the use of technology to provide information about bodily reactions so that a person can learn to control those responses. Which of the following is NOT another method for biofeedback?
  1. Breathing awareness
  2. Temperature feedback
  3. Auditory/verbal feedback
  4. Aromatherapy
Explanation
Answer: D - Aromatherapy is use of olfactory stimulation to bring about mood or emotional changes. Breathing awareness is a biofeedback mechanism where a person can consciously change the pattern of their breathing in order to effect changes in their physical state. Temperature feedback is an easy tool for partners and doulas to use - hand temperature typically rises as the mother becomes more relaxed. Auditory feedback can be affirmations or words that relate to mental images, while verbal feedback is vocalizations on the woman's part to bring about relaxation, such as moaning, chanting, and screaming
