Question 2
The labor and delivery nurse is caring for a laboring client who has asked for a priest to visit her during labor.
The client's mother died during childbirth, and although there are no complications during her pregnancy, the client is fearful of her own death during labor. What is the best response by the nurse? 1. Nothing is going to happen to you. We'll take very good care of you during your birth.
2. Would you like to have an epidural so that you won't feel the pain of the contractions?
3. The priest won't be able to prevent complications, and might get in the way of your providers.
4. Would you like me to contact your parish or our hospital chaplain to come see you?
