The woman states, “My contractions are so stro... ng that I don’t know what to do.” The nurse should: a. Assess for fetal well-being. b. Encourage the woman to lie on her side. c. Disturb the woman as little as possible. d. Recognize that pain is personalized for each individual.

B The left lateral position is used to alleviate fetal distress, not maternal stress. C The nurse has an obligation to provide physical, emotional, and psychosocial care and support to the laboring woman. This woman clearly needs support. D Each woman’s pain during childbirth is unique and is influenced by a variety of physiologic, psychosocial, and environmental factors. A critical issue for the nurse is how support can make a difference in the pain of the woman during labor and birth. [Show More]
