Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bringing someone who can solely tend to the specific needs of the child is important for the safety and well-being of both the child and the mother during the birth. It allows the parents to focus on the birth while ensuring that the child is taken care of. Option A is not supportive of the family's desire to have their child present. Option B is incorrect, as policies regarding children at births can vary and it is ultimately up to the parents and healthcare provider to decide. Option D may not be enough to keep the child occupied during the potentially intense and emotional process of giving birth.
