Correct Answer is A

B. Drinking red wine at bedtime might initially induce sleep but could disrupt sleep patterns and worsen anxiety.

D. Encouraging daily rituals might help establish a routine but might not directly address the anxiety related to financial stress.

A. Check perineum for changes in "show" or discharge. B. Review the fetal heart rate pattern. C. Obtain a straight catheter kit to empty her bladder. D. Assist the client up to the bathroom.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Checking the perineum for changes in "show" or discharge is important for monitoring labor progress, but it does not directly address the client's immediate need to empty her bladder. This action would be more relevant if there were signs of labor progression or complications.

B. Reviewing the fetal heart rate pattern is crucial for assessing fetal well-being, but it does not resolve the client's discomfort from a full bladder. While important, it does not address the specific request made by the client.

C. Obtain a straight catheter kit to empty her bladder is unnecessary since the client can ambulate and has expressed the desire to void. Catheterization is typically reserved for clients unable to void independently or when the bladder is distended and interfering with labor progression.

D. Assist the client up to the bathroom is the correct action. Allowing the client to empty her bladder helps facilitate labor progression, as a full bladder can impede fetal descent. Since the vaginal exam is unchanged and the client is stable, ambulation to the bathroom is safe and appropriate. Additionally, this action supports the client’s autonomy and comfort during labor.
