Which client is most likely to experience pain during labor?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anxiety affects a woman's perception of pain. Tension during labor causes tightening of abdominal muscles, impeding contractions and increasing pain by stimulation of nerve endings. A breech presentation does not mean that the woman will experience a painful labor. Lamaze breathing techniques use the mind to prevent pain; they involve concentration and conditioning to help the woman respond to contractions with relaxation to decrease pain. Childbirth preparation classes can help a woman prepare for the pain but will not prevent the woman from experiencing pain during labor.
