You have decided to use a TENS unit on a woman during labor and birth to decrease pain perception. Which of the following is the most effective technique in this situation?
- Place the electrodes over the upper abdominal during the first stages of labor and over the lower abdominals during the later stages of labor
- Place the electrodes over the paraspinals at the L5 level and S1 level throughout labor and delivery
- Place the electrodes in a V pattern above the pubic region during labor and delivery
- Place the electrodes over the paraspinals at the L1 and S1 level initially during labor, and over the pubic region during the latter stages
The solution will be posted in a few days.
