Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Culturally oriented views of childbirth help to shape the woman's expectations and ongoing perceptions of the birth experience. The nurse's understanding of the cultural values and expectations attached to childbirth provide a meaningful framework on which to plan and deliver sensitive, appropriate care. Cultural considerations for the laboring woman encompass many elements of the birth experience, including choice of a birth support person, strategies for coping with contractions, pain expression and relief, language preference, use of touch, and food preferences.
