Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Nursing care for women who plan to have a VBAC is similar to that for women who have had no cesarean births. The main concern is that the uterine scar will rupture, which can disrupt the placental blood flow and cause hemorrhage. Observation for signs of uterine rupture should be part of the nursing care for all laboring women, regardless of whether they have had a previous cesarean birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Arab women are extremely modest, usually have a low pain tolerance, and wear various protective and religious amulets. The husband is in attendance but not as a participant. Arabs prefer female caregivers. If a male is in attendance, then the husband will remain in the room as long as the male is there.
