Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and requests nonpharmacological pain management. Which of the following nursing actions promotes client comfort?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assisting the client into a squatting position can help relieve pain and discomfort during labor. Squatting can open up the pelvis, allowing the baby to descend and progress through the birth canal more effectively. This position can also help with gravity-assisted delivery, decreasing the pressure on the mother's back and helping to reduce labor pains. Encouraging various positions during labor can provide comfort and promote optimal positioning for delivery.
