Question

After an emergency cesarean birth, the client tells the nurse that she was hoping for a "natural" childbirth but is glad that she and her baby are all right. Which postpartum phase of adjustment does this statement most closely typify?

Answer 1

Taking in

Step-by-step explanation:

As the client has chosen to discuss her experience, she is already bringing the experience into reality, which is usually a characteristic of the taking in phase of postpartum adjustments. In this example, the client has no intention of assuming the letting-go phase tasks until all taking-in and taking-hold tasks are completed.
