Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Nurses have a direct role in helping the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals regarding the preparation of patients for childbirth by participating as childbirth instructors. Attending pediatric advanced life support training, working in the labor suite, and certification in infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation will not support the 2020 National Health Goals for childbirth.

The second letter denotes the presenting part which in this case is S or the sacrum or buttocks. The letter O would denote the occiput or vertex presentation. The letter M would denote the mentum (chin) or face presentation. The letter A would denote the acromion or shoulder presentation.
