As the nurse inspects the perineum of a client who is in active labor, the client suddenly turns pale and states that she feels as if she is going to faint even through she is lying flat on her back. what is the nurse's priority intervention?

The nurse priority in this intervention is to asses the patient's condition of having to feel as if she is going to faint and the sudden change of color, because this is important for the nurse to note on before the client undergoes labor because this could be dangerous or could lead to complications when not assessed before she gives birth.
