The nurse is discussing with a couple their concerns about delivering vaginally after having a cesarean birth. Parents planning on a vaginal birth after a cesarean birth (VBAC) should prepare:
1. Exclusively for a vaginal delivery.
2. Two birth plans: one for vaginal and one for cesarean.
3. For a long labor.
4. For a short labor.

Rationale 1: Preparing exclusively for a vaginal delivery will decrease a parent's sense of control over the birth experience if a cesarean needs to be performed.
Rationale 2: In the care of vaginal birth after cesarean birth (VBAC), two birth plans should be prepared: one for vaginal delivery and one for cesarean birth.
Rationale 3: The length of labor (short or long) cannot be determined for a VBAC delivery.
Rationale 4: The length of labor (short or long) cannot be determined for a VBAC delivery.
