Acute Labor Pain Management Guide

This document outlines nursing interventions for acute labor pain during the third stage of labor, which is placental expulsion. It recommends changing wet clothing and bedding to promote comfort, applying ice bags to the perineum after delivery to reduce swelling and provide pain relief, and providing a heated blanket to prevent chills and enhance relaxation. Assisted breathing techniques may also help direct attention away from discomfort during surgical repair if needed.
