The nurse is assisting low-income families to access health care. The nurse is aware that, in today's society, this most accurately defines the diversity of a modern family.

A. Massage the fundus: Fundal massage is indicated when the uterus is boggy to promote uterine contraction and prevent postpartum hemorrhage. In this case, the fundus is already firm, indicating adequate uterine tone. Massaging a firm uterus is unnecessary and does not address the cause of displacement.

B. Insert a urinary catheter: Bladder distention can displace the uterus to the right and above the expected level. Although catheterization may be needed if the client cannot void, the initial intervention should be less invasive. Encouraging spontaneous voiding is preferred before proceeding to catheter insertion.

C. Have the client urinate: A firm uterus that is displaced from midline and elevated suggests bladder distention. Having the client urinate helps relieve bladder fullness, allowing the uterus to return to the midline and descend appropriately. This intervention directly addresses the likely cause of the abnormal fundal position.

D. Administer an analgesic: Analgesics may help manage postpartum discomfort but do not correct uterine displacement or bladder distention. Pain control does not influence uterine position or fundal height in this situation. Addressing bladder emptying is the priority intervention.

A. Routine intravenous fluids should be implemented: IV fluids are not routinely required for all laboring women unless medically indicated. Unnecessary interventions can limit mobility and interfere with a natural labor experience.

B. A woman should be allowed to assume a supine position: Supine positioning can compress major blood vessels, reducing uteroplacental perfusion. Encouraging upright or lateral positions supports optimal fetal positioning and maternal comfort.

C. Women should be able to move about freely throughout labor: Allowing movement and position changes promotes comfort, facilitates fetal descent, and can shorten labor. Mobility supports a more natural and physiologic labor process, enhancing maternal autonomy.

D. The support person's access to the client should be limited to prevent the client from becoming overwhelmed: Presence of a support person generally reduces maternal anxiety, provides emotional and physical support, and promotes a positive birth experience. Limiting support is contrary to principles of natural labor.
