Mapse The client is pale, weak, and anxious, but no longer disoriented. Her fundus is firm and is 1 cm above the umbilicus. Her bleeding has slowed considerably. The client tells the nurse that her spouse went home to pick up their other child to bring to the hospital. She states that she doesn’t want her child to see her this way and asks the nurse to tell her spouse what happened. Question 13 of 24 Which intervention should the nurse implement to communicate the situation to the dient’s spouse? Ask the unit clerk to notify the spouse about the client’s change in condition, but let him know she is going to be all right and to please return to the hospital later. Call the spouse from the nurses’ station to inform him of the client’s status and request that the spouse come back to the hospital soon, but without the other child. Dial the telephone number for the client and hold the phone for her, allowing her to talk to her spouse and explain what happened, and not to bring their other child. Since the client is still weak and unable to communicate effectively, it is not appropriate to have her try to explain the situation to her spouse on the telephone. In addition, the client expressed a desire for someone else to contact her spouse. Wait until the spouse arrives at the hospital with the other child and talk to him before he goes in to see his wife, asking if someone can come get the child.
