Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Baby baths and birth certificates are necessary information, but not critical.
Rationale 2: Cesarean birth can be seen as a status symbol in some Spanish-speaking cultures; avoidance might not be desirable. Pregnancy fitness is important, but not critical.
Rationale 3: Knowing how to contact the provider at all times is critical so that patients receive appropriate advice and care in case of a problem or emergency. Knowing what to watch for and when to call the provider also facilitates safety. These are the highest priorities.
Rationale 4: Pain relief is important, but not critical.
