It would depend on the hospital you train at.. Cause my answer would be something like ..

'Local policy states that for Millie to have a water birth she needs to fulfill certain criteria. Firstly Millie's pregnancy needs to have been completely low risk with no history, personally or medically that would contraindicate a water birth. This is backed up by the NICE intrapartum guidelines (year?) which states... blah blah blah...'

'Once it has been established that Millie is a suitable client for a water birth and is in the water local policies suggest continuous support once in active labour.. blah blah.. monitoring water temperature and Millie's temperature every ?? which is also back by NICE intrapartum guidelines (year?) which states... Blah Blah.. '

Hahaha.. Can you tell I've never looked at water birth and the issues surround it?! But that's how I would set out a question like that anyways!
