The most appropriate statement for introducing the topic of family planning in the post-partum setting is:
a. "Let's talk about birth control, because breast-feeding is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy."
b. "What are your plans for future pregnancies?"
c. "Here are some pamphlets on available methods of birth control. I'll come back later and discuss them with you."
d. "Do you plan on being sexually active in the future?"
B
This opens the conversation to ways of preventing pregnancy from occurring before the woman is ready.
The family needs to be ready to talk about birth control, and this statement does not open that conversation.
Pamphlets are not always the best form of teaching, the woman is usually too tired and overwhelmed to read.
This statement will only provide a yes or no answer and not allow for conversation.
