(15 points) present a detailed analysis of the following case study. The total length of your answer should be about 3 to 5 pages single-spaced. In this case study, a couple who have been participating in a family-centered pregnancy program have p(cid:396)epa(cid:396)ed fo(cid:396) the (cid:862)(cid:271)ig day(cid:863) a(cid:374)d (cid:373)ade all de(cid:272)isio(cid:374)s pe(cid:396)tai(cid:374)i(cid:374)g to thei(cid:396) p(cid:396)eg(cid:374)a(cid:374)(cid:272)y, su(cid:272)h as ha(cid:448)i(cid:374)g a (cid:374)atu(cid:396)al birth. When the mother-to-be is finally ready to give birth, the labour and delivery nurse becomes aware that the woman has an acute episode of genital herpes simplex virus. Unfortunately, because the baby will be put at risk if natural birth is followed through, a caesarean section is the best option for this woman and her baby.
