Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bringing someone who can solely tend to the needs of the child would be the most beneficial plan of care. This would ensure that the child's needs are met during the birth of their sibling and that the parents can focus on the childbirth process. Option A suggests that the child should not attend the birth, which goes against the parents' wishes. Option B is also incorrect as there is no standard age limit for children to be present at the birth. Option D may not be sufficient to keep the child occupied during such a significant event.
