CARE OF MOTHER 1-2 Flashcards
1-2
The frequency of maternal vital signs and respiratory
status assessment is as follows:
First stage latent
Blood pressure (BP), pulse, and respirations are
assessed every hour (if the BP is greater than
140/90 or if the pulse is greater than 100,
contact the primary care provider).
Temperature is assessed every 4 hours (every 2
hours if the membranes are ruptured).
The frequency of maternal vital signs and respiratory
status assessment is as follows:
First stage active
BP, pulse, and respirations are assessed every
hour.
The frequency of maternal vital signs and respiratory
status assessment is as follows:
First stage transition
BP, pulse, and respirations are assessed every
30 minutes.
The frequency of maternal vital signs and respiratory
status assessment is as follows:
Second stage
BP and pulse assessed every 5 to 15 minutes
Fundal height is measured
Status of labor (i.e.. contractions [onset,
frequency, duration, and intensity],
membranes, bleeding, cervical dilation and
fetal descent) is determined.
The client’s needs for comfort, analgesia, or
anesthesia is assessed continuously.
. Psychosocial assessment
anxiety, childbirth education, support systems, and
the client’s response to labor
Palpation or electronic monitoring (external with
____ and internal with ____
tocodynamometer
intrauterine
pressure catheter)
The
frequency of contraction assessment is as follows:
First stage latent -
every 30 minutes
The
frequency of contraction assessment is as follows:
First stage active
every 15 to 30 minutes
The
frequency of contraction assessment is as follows:
First stage transition
every 15 minutes
The
frequency of contraction assessment is as follows:
Second stage –
each contraction
- performed to assess
cervical dilation and cervical effacement
Sterile vaginal examination -
Sterile vaginal examination -
performed to assess
cervical dilation
(opening of external os from closed
to 10 cm) a
Sterile vaginal examination -
cervical effacement
(thinning and
shortening of the cervix, as measured from 0% (thick)
to 100% (paper thin) effaced)
- the long axis of the fetus is
parallel to the long axis of the mother
Longitudinal lie
- the long axis of the fetus is
perpendicular to the long axis of the mother
Transverse lie
