The nurse is teaching the pregnant client during her first trimester. The nurse identifies that which decision is most important for her to make first?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
A decision regarding labor and delivery location is the priority for the client in order to properly plan for a home birth versus a hospital birth, HCP availability at the location, and type of labor and delivery settings available at the location. The decision on feeding the newborn can be made up to the time of the first feeding. The decision on pain management can be made early but can be changed up through the early stages of labor. The decision of delivery method should be made early but cannot be determined until the decision is made on labor and delivery location.
