Concerning the psychologic complications and risks of forced cesarean births, nurses should be aware that:
1. a family's worries about extra cost are unfounded; vaginal birth and unscheduled cesarean births cost about the same.
2. most women relate to their newborns as quickly and are as likely to breastfeed as those who went through vaginal birth.
3. the psychologic outcomes are the same as with women who go through scheduled cesarean births.
4. some couples (and individuals) have sexual worries: the women about sexual at-tractiveness, the men about hurting their partners.

1. Incorrect. Those fears have a foundation. Cesarean birth and aftercare are more expen-sive.
2. Incorrect. Often women who delivered by cesarean experience a delay in their ability to interact with their newborns, and they are less likely to breastfeed.
3. Incorrect. The psychologic outcomes of unplanned cesarean birth are usually more pro-nounced and negative than those associated with scheduled procedures.
4. Correct. The sexual worries may be exaggerated, but are still present.
