Martha is a gravida 3, para 2, whose last child was born 5 years ago. She attended childbirth preparation classes with her first pregnancy. Which class would be most appropriate for her?
a. Refresher course
b. Infant care classes
c. Postpartum classes
d. Early pregnancy classes
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.
