Feedback:
To fulfill the 2020 National Health Goals regarding cesarean births and answer the patient's question, the nurse should respond that patients who fulfill the criteria for vaginal birth after cesarean should attempt a vaginal birth with subsequent children. All future births do not need to be done through cesarean. The patient has a voice with deciding the type of birth that she would prefer with each pregnancy. Most women do not prefer cesarean births. This type of birth might not take as long; however, it is a painful surgical procedure.
