A couple discusses their childbirth preparation options with the nurse. They want the father to be actively involved, and for the expectant mother to avoid medications during the birthing process. The nurse's best response is:
1. "The hospital will follow your wishes."
2. "The Leboyer method will provide what you want."
3. "The Bradley method will provide for your needs."
4. "The Lamaze method will be easy to follow."

Rationale 1: The hospital method is not an option for preparation.

Rationale 3: The Bradley method is referred to as partner- or husband-coached natural childbirth.
Rationale 4: The Lamaze method involves the breathing technique that facilitates delivery by relaxing at the proper time.
