Question 1 of 5

Assessment of a 23-year-old primigravid client at term who is admitted to the birthing unit in active labor reveals that her cervix is 4 cm dilated and 100% effaced. Contractions are occurring every 4 minutes. The nurse is developing a care plan with the client to relieve pain based on the gate-control theory of pain. The nurse should explain which of the following to the client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The gate-control theory posits that pain signals are modulated in the spinal cord, where non-painful stimuli (e.g., touch) can 'close the gate' to pain transmission. Input from large fibers closes the gate, perception varies but is not the mechanism, and slow breathing helps manage pain but does not open the gate.
