Option D is the most appropriate response as it acknowledges the patient's desire for mobility and the use of hydrotherapy during labor while also providing information about the use of telemetry. It also offers a solution that can accommodate the patient's preferences by suggesting that telemetry can be started and continued throughout labor if there are no signal issues. Option A is incorrect as it suggests that telemetry is only used for bed-bound patients. Option B is incorrect as it provides incorrect information about the use of hydrotherapy while on telemetry. Option C is incorrect as it does not address the patient's concerns or offer any solutions.
