Why is it important for the nurse to assess the bladder regularly and encourage the laboring client to void every 2 hours?
1. A full bladder impedes oxygen flow to the fetus.
2. Frequent voiding prevents bruising of the bladder.
3. Frequent voiding encourages sphincter control.
4. A full bladder can impede fetal descent.
4
Rationale:
1. Oxygen flow to the fetus is not impacted by a full bladder.
2. Frequent voiding has nothing to do with bruising of the bladder.
3. Frequent voiding has nothing to do with sphincter control.
4. A full bladder can impede the descent of the fetus. Frequent voiding or catheterization allows for quicker descent.
