Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A certified nurse-midwife (CNM) cares for women who are at low risk for complications. The CNM would not care for a woman with hypertension. The CNM would not care for a woman with insulin-dependent diabetes. The CNM would not care for a woman with borderline pelvic measurements.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When 2 or more years elapse between a prepared childbirth class and a subsequent pregnancy, a refresher course is recommended to provide couples with an update on new developments and to review techniques. Infant care classes cover the basics of infant care, with which she is familiar. She has experienced the postpartum period so this class would not be as beneficial as a refresher class. Early pregnancy classes cover information on adapting to pregnancy, dealing with discomforts such as morning sickness and fatigue, and understanding what to expect in the months ahead.
