Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Because the fetal head rotates against the sacrum in the occiput posterior position, the patient may experience pressure and pain in the lower back because of sacral nerve compression. Applying counter pressure on the sacrum by a back rub may be helpful in relieving a portion of the pain. The patient does not need to be placed in the prone or Trendelenburg positions. Ice packs are not indicated to reduce this pain.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Telling the client that the nurse is sorry for the loss acknowledges the loss to the woman, validates her feelings, and brings the loss into reality. Asking why the client is crying is ineffective at this time. Offering a pill for the pain ignores the client's feelings. Telling the client that the baby wasn't formed is inappropriate and discounts any feelings or beliefs that the client has.
