Question

A client, now 37 weeks pregnant, calls the clinic because she is concerned about being short of breath and is unable to sleep unless she places three pillows under her head. after listening to the client's concerns, the nurse should take which action

These are normal symptoms, since the uterus where the baby lies is pushing up on the diaphragm which may cause shortness of breath. This client does not need to be seen as discomfort is common especially considering how far along she is.
