Abstract

Invasive and noninvasive medical technology are employed frequently in the health care of women, particularly childbearing women, often without any demonstrable benefit. Nurses are in a position to be advocates for their childbearing patients and to define and implement a realistic balance between supportive or facilitative caring and technical interventions.
