Answer to Question 1

B
This opens the conversation to ways of preventing pregnancy from occurring before the woman is ready.
The family needs to be ready to talk about birth control, and this statement does not open that conversation.
Pamphlets are not always the best form of teaching, the woman is usually too tired and overwhelmed to read.
This statement will only provide a yes or no answer and not allow for conversation.
