Answer:

Caring for a fetus, an unseen patient

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of nursing in maternal and child health is a very challenging area among the areas of nursing. In addition to legal issues, health nursing must take care of a fetus, who is an invisible patient, as nurses cannot know directly about the fetus what its symptoms are and how they feel, nurses have to examine fetuses based on images and complaints of the mother, but not of the fetus itself.
