What intervention should be taken if a primigravida client at 40 weeks gestation complains of lower back pain during induction with oxytocin?

In a scenario where a primigravida client at 40 weeks gestation experiences lower back pain during induction with oxytocin, applying firm pressure to the sacral area is an effective intervention. This technique is based on the understanding that many women experience back pain during labor, especially if the baby is in an unfavorable position, such as a "back labor" position where the back of the baby's head presses against the mother's spine.

Applying pressure to the sacral area can help alleviate some of the discomfort associated with this back pain by providing counterpressure that may ease the sensation of pain and promote comfort. Additionally, this method is non-invasive and does not interfere with the ongoing induction process, thus allowing the labor to continue as planned.

Other interventions could be necessary depending on the client's response and the course of labor; however, maintaining comfort while still allowing for the progression of induction is a priority.
