A nurse is caring for a client who is about to undergo an emergency cesarean birth for severe preeclampsia at 26.3 weeks gestation. The client is admitted after 3 days of a severe headache and a 10-pound weight gain. Her blood pressure is 180/110 mm Hg, and she has a moderate abruption. The woman states, “It’s my fault! If I would have called earlier, they could have stopped it and I wouldn’t be having my baby delivered now!” What is the nurse’s best response? 1. “This is not your fault. You are here now, and we are going to take care of you.” 2. “Earlier intervention might have deemed a better outcome, but you can’t think of that now.” 3. “Your baby is going to be fine.” 4. “Your health and well-being are what is important, you need to think of yourself and not the baby right now.”
