An expectant couple desire to determine their compatibility with a care provider. They ask the nurse for assistance. Which question should be addressed first?
 
  1. Can my children attend the birth?
  2. If I have a cesarean birth, can my husband attend?
  3. What is your philosophy of birth?
  4. What percentage of your patients have episiotomies?

Question 2

The client is being admitted to the birthing unit. As the nurse begins the assessment, the client's partner asks why the fetus's heart rate will be monitored.
 
  After the nurse explains, which statement by the partner indicates a need for further teaching? 1. The fetus's heart rate will vary between 110 and 160.
  2. The heart rate is monitored to see whether the fetus is tolerating labor.
  3. By listening to the heart, we can tell the gender of the fetus.
  4. After listening to the heart rate, you will contact the midwife.
