Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation:
1. This is not a complication of cesarean birth by request.
2. Placenta implantation problems are more common after cesarean birth and increase healthcare costs because of the high-risk care and testing required.
3. Which anesthesia method is used is not a significant factor in healthcare costs of cesarean birth by request. The need for anesthesia, use of the operating suite, equipment use, personnel, and other factors are more responsible for greater costs of cesarean birth compared with vaginal birth.
4. The income of the couple does not affect healthcare costs directly.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation:
1. The vacuum extractor might leave a bruise on the scalp where the device is placed.
2. The vacuum extractor is applied to the scalp for up to 10 minutes total.
3. Vacuum extraction is an assistive delivery, and the client must continue with pushing efforts to accomplish the birth.
4. The vacuum extractor is a small cup-shaped device that is applied to the scalp.
