A client states that she is not interested in Lamaze classes because she is single and does not want to have natural childbirth. The nurse's best response would be:
1. "Lamaze classes promise painless childbirth. If you learn their methods, your pain is minimal."
2. "Lamaze classes can teach you relaxation methods and also the benefits and risks of pain-relief methods. This assists you in making the best decision for you."
3. "You are very nervous. I think these classes would be best for you."
4. "Lamaze classes are geared toward couples. You might want to find a different class."

Rationale:
1. This is an inappropriate response.
2. Lamaze teaches relaxation methods by utilizing patterned breathing. Those who are able to use the method require little if any anesthesia during delivery.
3. This is an inappropriate response.
