The nurse is working in a post-partum unit and is assigned to care for a woman who experienced fetal demise at 40 weeks. The nurse is not comfortable caring for this type of patient, so the best course action for the nurse to take is to:
1. Take the patient and provide the care needed. No one is good at providing care to patients who experience fetal demise. 2. Talk to the charge nurse and see if there is a nurse with more experience in caring for patients who experience a fetal demise. 3. Take the patient.
