€œThe placenta is covering the opening of the uterus and blocking your baby.”

A complete placenta previa occurs when the placenta covers the opening of the uterus. thus blocking the passageway for the baby. This response explains what a complete previa is and the reason the baby cannot come out except by cesarean delivery.Option A: Telling the client to ask the physician is a poor response and would increase the patients anxiety.Option B: Although a cesarean would help to prevent hemorrhage. the statement does not explain why the hemorrhage could occur.Option C: With a complete previa. the placenta is covering all the cervix. not just most of it.
