Both statements A and C show understanding of the plan of care during and after pregnancy. Statement B is incorrect as the dose of zidovudine (AZT) does not need to be doubled after delivery. Statement D is incorrect as the baby's zidovudine (AZT) is given orally, not in cream form. Statement E is incorrect as the baby will still need zidovudine (AZT) after delivery, even if the mother took it during pregnancy.
