Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although this is the woman's second cesarean birth, the fetal presentation is transverse, which can complicate the surgery. Therefore, it is important to review preoperative and postoperative procedures to ensure a safe delivery and quick recovery. Option A is incorrect as previous cesarean births do not necessarily mean lower risk for complications. Option C is incorrect as recovery time varies for each individual and is not solely based on the number of previous cesarean births. Option D is incorrect as preoperative teaching is important for every surgical procedure, irrespective of the number of previous procedures.
