Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
It's appropriate to ask the client if he or she will have trouble remembering the information. Many clients have this problem. It removes any judgment or stereotypes regarding one's education level, understanding, or learning skills. Avoid giving information that uses a lot of medical language or jargon and use a simple, conversational style.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Hospital stays for vaginal births have averaged 2448 hours or less during the past decade, and 7296 hours or less for cesarean births.
