Answer 2

Answer:

Nurse

Explanation:

Catherine wants to hire a nurse.

One of the specializations of the nursing course is obstetric nursing, which qualifies the professional to offer comprehensive care to the mother, and can accompany her in prenatal, delivery, postpartum, breastfeeding and first care with the baby.

The obstetric nurse does not go to medical school, but is authorized to conduct the delivery when the whole process occurs naturally and without any change in the health of the mother and baby.
