A primigravida client who has been in labor for 13 hours clenches her fists, tightens her muscles, and screams during every contraction. her reaction to labor seems exaggerated compared with the contraction pattern recording from the electronic fetal monitor (efm). which intervention would be most important?

Respuesta :

The answer would be: Palpate her abdomen to determine the intensity of labor contractions as they're taking place.

The electronic fetal monitor is a device that can determine the contraction level based on the pressure it reads. The device could report a wrong result if it used incorrectly(if the position is wrong or the belt is too loose). It is important to validate the device results to make sure it is not wrong.
