Which action does the nurse implement to enhance comfort for the laboring client during the active phase of the first stage of labor?Breathing exercises are one of the most common methods of non-pharmacological pain relief during childbirth during the first stage of labor. These exercises can come in many forms and provide many benefits.
What intervention does the nurse perform while caring for a laboring patient?These interventions can include bed rest/recumbent position, electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), limited oral intake during labor, frequent vaginal exams, inductions/augmentations, amniotomy, regional anesthesia, catheterization, ineffective pushing, episiotomy, instrumental vaginal birth, and cesarean surgery.
Which factor is associated with the reduced pain and feelings of euphoria in a pregnant client during labor?Beta-endorphins rise during labor, reach a peak immediately before delivery, and decline after parturition. High endorphin levels during labor and birth can produce an altered state of consciousness that can help cope with the process of giving birth.
Which characteristic is associated with false labor contractions?During false labor, you have contractions that seem to come and go. False labor pains are called “Braxton Hicks” contractions. These contractions help soften and thin your cervix. They tend to happen more often as you get closer to your due date (2 to 4 weeks before birth).
