How, in situations like your article, do you advocate for your client when you know that a section is uncalled for at the time? Reply

The nurse/patient replied,” no I don’t think so. 1/2 cm is progress, the baby looks good and I’m fine, we’ll wait.” She delivered vaginally and was fine. Her opinion carried more weight than anyone else’s. Lol Reply

I’m an ICU nurse but I love the L&D world as well and I think this could work with either specialty. Critical thinking is something you have learn and keep growing at! Reply
