Yes, 2-3 times day to eat, drink, and get wet. She must do this to provide the moisture needed to hatch the eggs.
2nd Answer: The father is supposed to be standing nearby (10-20 feet) protecting her and the eggs. He will either guard the nest from a distance or come right up to it to watch for predators.
Yes, she will go back on. You need to make sure that she is leaving the nest to eat and drink. This is very unhealthy and the hen may not survive if she doesn't eat and drink.
She leaves the nest 2-3 times a day for 3 reasons, eat, drink, and to get moisture on her body the continue the humid environment in the nest.
Nobody relieves a sitting mother from her nest. She does get up from the nest to take a break (drink water, bathe, eat) and returns within 10 minutes or so. Prior to her break, she will cover the eggs with the down that lines the nest to ensure they stay warm. The husband will often come in from standing guard (10-15 feet away) to take the break with her. How many breaks she takes depends on the mother. In my observation, they break once a day.
Yes, they do have to be kept warm, but not necessarily by a sitting mother. A nesting goose or duck will get up at least once a day to leave the nest for a swim, get something to eat or just a stretch. The time she spends away from the nest is not long and usually she covers the eggs with a layer of down to keep them warm. In the case of Canada Geese, when the mother does leave the nest for a break, the father is often close by standing guard to stop any prediators from attacking the nest.
She gets off the nest to eat, drink, and get wet, in order to provide humidity in the nest.

It takes 28 days. The peahen leaves the nest once a day for a few minutes to eat, drink, and take a dust bath. If it is raining or cold, she may not leave at all.
Yes, female doves can leave the nest to eat during the nesting period. While they may spend significant time incubating eggs or caring for their young, they will typically take short breaks to feed. This behavior helps ensure they maintain their energy and health to care for their offspring effectively. However, they tend to be cautious and may only leave the nest for brief periods.
