Feedback
A This statement is not accurate. Both maternal and fetal risks are associated with every cesarean section.
B This statement is the most appropriate.
C This statement is not accurate. Physiologic and psychologic recovery from a ce-sarean section is multifactorial and individual to each patient each time.
D Preoperative teaching should always be performed, regardless of whether the patient has already had this procedure.

Answer to Question 2
