Amultigravida in the active phase of labor says, "i feel all wet. i think i wet myself." what should the nurse do first

If a multigravida in the active phase of labor says, "I feel all wet. I think I wet myself." the nurse should first check to see if the woman has in fact urinated. If possible without interrupting the doctor who is delivering the baby, the nurse may explain to the patient what she is going to do, and try to clean up some of the urine. It is also common for catheters to be used when an epidural is given.
