Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals regarding pain relief during labor by educating women about the advantages of preparing for childbirth and helping them to use breathing patterns or other complementary and alternative therapies and techniques during labor so they need a minimum of analgesia and anesthesia. These goals would not be achieved by discussing the use of epidural or spinal anesthesia or by reviewing the various opioid analgesics available for use during labor.
