The nurse has presented information on prenatal class options to a couple pregnant for the first time. Which statement made by the couple indicates that the couple is experiencing deficient knowledge?
1. "Prenatal classes eliminate the risk of needing a vacuum extraction or cesarean birth.".
2. "Prenatal classes help parents cope with the discomforts and unknowns of childbirth.".
3. "Prenatal classes facilitate better communication between both partners.".
4. "Prenatal classes encourage participants to write a list of their requests for labor and birth.".
1. "Prenatal classes eliminate the risk of needing a vacuum extraction or cesarean birth.".
Rationale:
Prenatal classes do not eliminate the risk of needing a vacuum extraction or cesarean birth. There is no guarantee that an operative birth can be avoided, even if a couple attends prenatal classes. Prenatal classes help parents cope with the discomforts and unknowns of childbirth. A secondary goal of prenatal classes is to facilitate communication between the pregnant woman and her partner. The primary goals are to inform participants of the birth process and teach them skills to cope with labor and birth. One of the strategies used in prenatal classes is to have participants write a birth plan that lists their requests for how they want their birthing experience to be. But putting their desires down in writing is less important than learning about the birth process and learning skills to cope with labor and delivery.
