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:
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the occipitoposterior position, the fetus's head is pressing against the mother's sacrum, causing intense back pain known as back labor. By asking if the back labor has improved, the nurse can assess if the hands-and-knees position has helped relieve the pressure on the mother's sacrum, indicating effectiveness.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: Suprapubic pain is not directly related to the occipitoposterior position or the hands-and-knees position.
B: Pelvic pressure may not necessarily be alleviated by changing positions in occipitoposterior position.
C: Contractions feeling further apart may not directly correlate with the effectiveness of the hands-and-knees position for back labor relief.
