A nurse is discussing fertility treatment options with a client and their partner. Which of the following nonpharmacological treatments should the nurse suggest?

Rationale:

A. This question addresses pelvic pressure, which may not directly relate to the effectiveness of the hands-and-knees position for occipitoposterior fetal positioning.

B. The spacing of contractions is not typically affected by maternal positioning and therefore is not the most appropriate question to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention.

C. Asking about improvement in back labor is pertinent because the hands-and-knees position can help alleviate back pain associated with occipitoposterior fetal positioning.

D. Suprapubic pain is not typically associated with occipitoposterior fetal positioning, so this question may not provide useful information regarding the effectiveness of the intervention.

Rationale:

A. Back pain following intercourse at 36 weeks of gestation may be common and is not typically indicative of an urgent issue.

B. Severe vomiting in early pregnancy could indicate hyperemesis gravidarum, which may require immediate assessment and intervention to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

C. Frequent urination at 10 weeks of gestation is common due to hormonal changes and increased pressure on the bladder from the growing uterus, but it does not typically require immediate assessment unless accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

D. Periodic tingling of the fingers at 24 weeks of gestation could be due to carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common in pregnancy but does not usually require urgent assessment unless severe or accompanied by other symptoms.
