A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is in the latent stage of labor and has pelvic pain with contractions. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Explanation B. Instruct the client to change positions frequently Encouraging the client to move around, walk, change positions during labour can help relieve discomfort, promote optimal fetal positioning positions, or use a birthing ball can help alleviate pelvic pain and potentially facilitate the progress of labour. Applying fundal pressure during contractions in (option A) is not necessary during the latent stage of labour. Fundal pressure is typically used in the active stage of labour to assist with the descent and positioning of the baby's head. Telling the client to push during contractions in (option C) is not appropriate during the latent stage of labour. Pushing is typically reserved for the second stage of labour when the cervix is fully dilated.

Immersion in hot water (e.g., a hot bath) can increase the risk of infection and is generally not recommended until after the birth of the baby
