The nurse is telling a new patient how technology used in maternal–newborn care has changed the way the nurse cares for her patients. An example of this is:
1. Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring.
2. Delivering at home with a nurse-midwife and doula.
3. Having the father present as the coach and cut the umbilical cord.
4. Breastfeeding of the new baby on the delivery table.
