Which statement by a client indicates a need for further teaching about performing kick counts?

The statement indicating a need for further teaching about performing kick counts is that the client should lie on their back to perform the procedure. It is recommended that the client adopts a position that enhances comfort and promotes fetal movement, such as lying on their side. This position reduces pressure on the vena cava, which can occur when lying flat on the back, especially in later stages of pregnancy. By maintaining an optimal position, the mother can better monitor fetal activity without compromising her own comfort or the baby's blood flow.

The other statements reflect an appropriate understanding of kick counts. Counting kicks for one hour each day is a standard practice to assess fetal well-being. Performing kick counts at the same time each day helps to establish a routine and monitor any changes in fetal activity. Additionally, knowing to notify the nurse if there are fewer than 10 kicks in two hours conveys an understanding of the importance of monitoring fetal movement for potential signs of fetal distress.
