Goals and Learning Outcomes

This course provides an overview about the safety of patients undergoing a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) to attempt a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC). Research evidence has influenced where VBACs are performed, which women are eligible and how the practice is conducted, including the safe use of induction/augmentation medications. The safety of VBAC for mother and newborn always remains the primary underlying principle that guides care.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify three risk factors and benefits associated with TOLAC and recommendations for safe TOLAC.
  • Recall essential components of nursing education, informed consent, safe medication administration, and fetal assessment related to TOLAC.
