Intubation is typically reserved for patients who require general anesthesia or have complications that necessitate airway management.Choice C rationaleThe need for an indwelling urinary catheter is common during a cesarean birth. It helps to keep the bladder empty and out of the way during the procedure and is usually placed after anesthesia and removed shortly after the surgery.Choice D rationaleManagement of postpartum pain is an important topic to discuss with clients undergoing cesarean birth. Postoperative pain management may include medications and non-pharmacological methods to ensure comfort and aid in recovery.
