Question

The husband of a client who is in the transition phase of the first stage of labor becomes very tense and anxious and asks a nurse, "would it be best for me to leave, since i don't seem to be doing my wife much good?" what is the appropriate response by the nurse?

Answer 1

The appropriate response by the nurse is that it is best that the husband should be there for her wife as she is at the transition phase of the first stage as the wife needs the support and assistance that she could get, especially from her husband and that she may experience a lot of pain and that emotional support must be given by her husband to at least calm his wife.
