The nurse is monitoring a laboring client with continuous fetal monitoring and notes a decrease in FHR with variable deceleration to 75 bpm. Which intervention should the nurse prioritize? Administer oxygen. Increase her IV fluids. Change the position of the client. Notify the primary care provider.

Change the position of the client. Variable decelerations often indicate a type of cord compression. The initial response is to change the position and try to release the cord compression.

The nurse is admitting a client who is in labor who reports her husband and doula will be arriving shortly. Which action should the nurse prioritize in response? Determine what activities the doula is qualified to handle Ask the client who she would like to see first Continue with the admission assessment Print a copy of the instructions for the doula to sign

Continue with the admission assessment

Which cardinal movement of delivery is the nurse correct to document by station? Descent Flexion Extension Internal rotation

Descent

Which cardinal movement of delivery is the nurse correct to document by station? Descent Flexion Extension Internal rotation

Descent Descent is documented by station, which is the relationship of the fetal presenting part to the maternal ischial spines. Descent continues throughout labor until the fetus reaches the fetal station of +4.

The nurse is monitoring a woman who is receiving IV oxytocin to assist with uterine irritability. Which action should the nurse prioritize if the woman's contractions are determined to be 80 seconds in length after 1 hour of administration of the oxytocin? Slow the infusion to under 10 gtts per minute. Increase the flow rate of the main line infusion. Discontinue the oxytocin infusion. Continue to monitor contraction duration every 2 hours.

Discontinue the oxytocin infusion. If uterine contractions lengthen beyond 70 seconds, there is apt to be an interference with fetal circulation.

The nurse is monitoring a client who is in the second stage of labor, at +2 station, and anticipating birth within the hour. The client is now reporting the epidural has stopped working and is begging for something for pain. Which action should the nurse prioritize? Call the anesthetist from the nurse's station to retry the epidural. Call the primary care provider, and obtain a reduced dose of meperidine. Give the meperidine because she needs pain relief now. Encourage her through the contractions, explaining why she cannot receive any pain medication.

Encourage her through the contractions, explaining why she cannot receive any pain medication. At this point, any medication would be contraindicated as it would pass to the fetus and may cause respiratory depression. The nurse will have to work with the mother through the contractions and pushing. The client has progressed too far to retry the epidural medication. No meperidine should be given due to the risk to the fetus.

How does a woman who feels in control of the situation during labor influence her pain? Feelings of control are inversely related to the client's report of pain. Decreased feeling of control helps during the third stage. There is no association between the two factors. Feeling in control shortens the overall length of labor.

Feelings of control are inversely related to the client's report of pain.

When planning a labor experience for a primigravid, understanding which characteristic of labor pain is most helpful? All pain is the same. The characteristics of labor pain follow a pattern.

The uterus relaxes completely between contractions. It is most important that the uterus relaxes completely between contractions. If not, sufficient blood flow to the placenta and oxygen to the fetus may be interrupted.

The laboring client who is at 3 cm dilation (dilatation) and 25% effaced is asking for analgesia. The nurse explains the analgesia usually is not administered prior to the establishment of the active phase. What is the appropriate rationale for this practice? This would cause fetal depression in utero. This may prolong labor and increase complications. The effects would wear off before birth. This can lead to maternal hypertension.

A woman is in labor with her second child. She knows that she will want epidural anesthesia, and she has already signed her consent form. What must the nurse do before the woman receives the epidural? Review the woman's medical history and laboratory results, and interview her to confirm all information is accurate and up to date.

To prevent supine hypotension syndrome To decrease the heart rate of the fetus To aid the woman as she pushes during labor To prevent the woman from falling out of bed

To prevent supine hypotension syndrome

A primigravida client at 38 weeks' gestation calls the clinic and reports, "My baby is lower and it is more difficult to walk." Which response should the nurse prioritize? "The baby has dropped into the pelvis; your body and baby are getting ready for labor in the next few weeks." "This is not normal unless you are in active labor; come to the hospital and be checked." "That is something we expect with a second or third baby, but because it is your first, you need to be checked." "The baby moved down into the pelvis; this means you will be in labor within 24 hours, so wait for contractions then come to the hospital."

"The baby has dropped into the pelvis; your body and baby are getting ready for labor in the next few weeks."
