Answer 1

d. help the woman through the exam by providing support and encouraging relaxation breathing during the examination

Step-by-step explanation:

Many clients can feel uncomfortable during gynecologic portion of the physical examination. Intimate structures like vagina are examined which can make the client feel embarrassed. The nurses come into play here. They should help the client feel relaxed by supporting them. The client should also be made to breathe deeply so that their muscles can relax during examination. Explaining the procedure and giving firm instructions should be avoided as they can further make the client uncomfortable.
