Answer to Question 1

D
Fostering her ability to make decisions independently will foster the mother's developmental level. The developmental task of adolescence is establishing their own identity and functioning independently when possible. Having family members assist with the care of the infant will not allow the adolescent to achieve her developmental task. Making health care decisions for her will not foster her independence. The decision to contact the baby's father should be made by the adolescent mother.

Rationale:
1. A CNM is prepared to manage independently the care of women at low risk for complications during pregnancy and birth and the care of healthy newborns.

3. A CNM is prepared to manage independently the care of women at low risk for complications during pregnancy and birth and the care of healthy newborns.
4. The CNM does not need to obtain a physician consultation for any technical procedures at delivery.
5. The CNM is educated in the disciplines of nursing and midwifery.
