Psychosocial needs of women during miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
The woman who experiences a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy may express her grief with many different responses. Perioperative nurses can enable the woman and her family members to adequately grieve the loss of pregnancy and the baby by using sensitive communication, therapeutic listening, and empathy skills and by coordinating follow up.
