Answer:

“I keep my young nieces during the day to help my sister, and they help me as well".

Step-by-step explanation:

Placenta previa is a condition in which placenta is low lying and risk of abortion is increased. Hence, nurse practitioner ask for strict bed rest in which only short bathroom walks, no stair climbing, limited sitting in chair for not more than 1 hour are allowed. Hence, if the patient states that she is getting help from her nieces, she might be working out her stuff by sitting for long hours or might be walking more in the house with aid of her nieces.
