Answer to Question 1

B
Helping the clients understand the method they choose is key to their effective use of the method and be aware of possible adverse effects. Choosing the method should be the client's choice. Both partners should participate in the decision when feasible. Pointing out all methods that have the greatest effectiveness is providing only restrictive information.

Answer to Question 2

A, F
Further clarification is needed if the students responded increased hospital stay and increased interventions. Trends currently affecting maternal, neonatal, and women's health care include decreased hospital stay, family-centered care, community-centered care, evidence-based practice, and fewer interventions.
