    A nurse is assisting in the care of a client who is at 34 weeks of gestation and is experiencing lower back pain. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Correct. Pelvic rocking exercises can help alleviate lower back pain during pregnancy by promoting movement and flexibility in the pelvic area. Picking up heavy items with the arms might not directly address lower back pain during pregnancy. Sitting in a hot tub for extended periods is not recommended during pregnancy due to the risk of overheating. Raising chairs to keep knees lower than hips is a general ergonomic recommendation, but it might not directly address lower back pain.
