Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Several strategies have been deemed as important in promoting physiological birth. Women are encouraged to organise for companions to support them during labour; induction of labour is not offered until after 41 weeks of pregnancy; midwifery care for women who do not have serious risk factors; and respecting women's choice of birthplace.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: True

Our understanding about collaboration has been partly shaped by exploring why collaboration can be difficult to achieve, and by using salutogenetic thinking can be equally instructive at improving our understanding about how to achieve good collaborative practice.
