3. Having the father present as the coach and cut the umbilical cord.
4. Breastfeeding of the new baby on the delivery table.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring are all recent technologies that have affected the care in labor and delivery areas.
Rationale 2: A nurse-midwife and a doula are not examples of technological care.
Rationale 3: Fathers' being present during labor and coaching their partners represents nontechnological care during childbirth.
Rationale 4: Breastfeeding is not an example of technology impacting care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale: The BMI for this client is too high,placing the adolescent at risk for cardiovascular disease,hypertension,and diabetes mellitus in later life. Therefore, nutritional intake is the most important topic to focus on with this client at this time. The only choice related to BMI is nutrition.
