OBSTETRIC INTERVENTIONS AND MEDICATIONS

The issue of informed consent and informed choice are major issues that underpin effective preparation for parenthood programs. The childbirth educator is the team member with the best opportunity to facilitate meaningful discussion around the various obstetric interventions and medications likely to be offered to labouring women. This pack contains guidelines on how to facilitate effective learning about these issues and a set of "templates" that act as reminders for the details that the educator needs to include. Reference lists, aims and learner outcomes and presentation tips are also included.
