The fetus of a patient who is 30 weeks pregnant is failing to thrive in utero. The health care provider wants to deliver the fetus through cesarean birth today. The patient asks why this approach is preferred over a vaginal delivery
What should the nurse respond to the patient? A) "You will have reduced pain afterward.".
B) "There's not an advantage; it's just more convenient.".
C) "Cesarean birth allows the placenta to deliver easier.".
D) "Cesarean birth will reduce pressure on the immature head.".
D
Feedback:
A cesarean delivery may be advantageous for a preterm birth to avoid pressure on the fetal head. A cesarean birth does not reduce the amount of postpartum pain. The health care provider does not want to use a cesarean birth because it is more convenient. A cesarean birth does not necessarily allow the placenta to deliver easier.

Tell the child you are leaving and identify when you will return by the child's schedule (e.g., after you eat supper). 3. Have the mother leave an article of clothing behind. 4. Tell the nurse when she is leaving so the nurse can stay with the child while the parents are absent. 5.
