A client at 28 weeks gestation complains to the nurse about the persistent pain in her lower back. The pain has made it difficult for the client to move around and sleep soundly at night. The nurse should instruct the client to:

Walk with her pelvis tilted backward
Perform pelvic rocking
Perform Kegel exercises
Sleep on a softer mattress

Explanation

Answer: B - Instruct the client to perform pelvic rocking, an exercise that prevents and relieves back pain. To prevent back pain, the client should be instructed to walk with her pelvis tilted forward to put pelvic support under the weight of the fetus and sleep on a firm mattress. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor.
