Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
The Bradley method emphasizes inward relaxation, allowing the woman to conserve energy for the impending birth. There is an emphasis on darkness, solitude, and quiet in order to reduce stimulation and enhance the calm and comfort needed by the woman. The Bradley method is also known as husband-coached childbirth. The nurse will need to establish a professional, caring relationship with both the woman and her partner. Medication is discouraged in this method.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Although they are different, all childbirth preparation classes incorporate a holistic approach to childbearing, which encompasses the biological, psychological, and social factors related to the experience.
