Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maternal-fetal conflict occurs when the interests of a pregnant woman and her fetus are seen as being in conflict. The example of a court-ordered cesarean delivery after the client refuses illustrates this conflict, as it involves external intervention to prioritize the health of the fetus over the mother's autonomy and decision-making.
