Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in active labor with a fetus in the occipitoposterior position. The nurse assists the client into a hands-and-knees position. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Has your back labor improved?" In the occipitoposterior position, the baby's head is pressing against the mother's back, causing intense back pain. Placing the client in a hands-and-knees position can help alleviate this discomfort by encouraging the baby to rotate into a more favorable position. By asking if the back labor has improved, the nurse can directly assess the effectiveness of the intervention.
Incorrect choices:
A: "Does that lessen your suprapubic pain?" - This question is not directly related to the occipitoposterior position or the hands-and-knees intervention.
B: "Are you feeling relief from your pelvic pressure?" - While pelvic pressure may be present, the primary concern with the occipitoposterior position is back labor.
C: "Do your contractions feel further apart?" - Contractions may not necessarily change in frequency with a change in position, especially in cases of fetal malposition.
