Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Alternative birthing centers are wellness-oriented childbirth facilities. These facilities are located near an acute care hospital in the event a physician is needed for the birthing process. Alternative birthing centers do not promote nor condone any specific action such as breastfeeding. Because a birthing center is located near a hospital, they are safer than home deliveries.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
To be a candidate for a home birth, a woman should be in good overall health. A family history of easy labor is not a criterion for a home birth. Avoiding prenatal care might jeopardize the patient's health status, leading to her not being a candidate for a home birth. Being intimidated by hospitals is not a criterion for a home birth.
