Your friend Natalie has just found out that she is pregnant. She is not sure whether she should go for a certified-nurse mediated delivery or a physician mediated delivery. What will be your advice?
What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers may vary.
Compared with physicians, certified nurse-midwives generally spend more time with patients during prenatal visits, place more emphasis on patient counseling and education, provide more emotional support, and are more likely to stay with the patient during the entire labor and delivery process, which may explain the higher rate of positive outcomes for babies delivered by certified nurse-midwives than for those delivered by doctors. Keeping this in mind, Natalie is more likely to benefit if she is attended by a certified nurse-midwife rather than a physician, provided that she is a healthy young woman, has no significant medical history, and is having a normal pregnancy.
