Providing time for the patient to talk about her feelings, facilitating referrals related to the fetal condition, and ascertaining if the patient and partner have previous crisis skills are important in meeting the psychological needs of the patient and her partner. Encouraging the patient's partner to be emotionally strong may not be helpful, as it can put pressure on the partner to suppress their own emotions and can create a sense of isolation for the patient. Monitoring the patient's condition and adjusting visitors accordingly is important for medical care but does not directly address the psychological needs of the patient and her partner.
