Non stress test = client is admitted for a non-stress test – strip shows two accelerations in 20 minutes, what would you advise the client
Reassuring results = good!
Increased MSAFP indicates
Possible Neural Tube Defect
Decreased MSAFP indicates
Possible Downs Syndrome (trisomy 21)
Patient that has a history of previous child with spina bifida or neural tube defect will have what testing?
Amniotic fluid study - amniocentesis = more accurate
Recognize decelerations indicate
Placental insufficiency

Variable
Early decels
Accelerations

Cord compression
Head compression
OK
Placental insufficiency
What is mother at risk for with hyperventilation during labor
Respiratory alkalosis
Sx – numbness, tingling in fingers/hands, dizziness
Interpreting different fetal heart patterns
FHR 110-160 (norm)
Variability = reliable indicator of fetal well being
Difference between true and false labor
cervical change
Fetal heart rate strip that shows decreased variability what would you do for that patient?
Sign of fetal compromise-
Possible c-section
Administer O2
Labor support – patient going into transition
Continue to encourage voiding every 2 hr.
☐ Continue to monitor and support the client and fetus.
☐Encourage a rapid pant-pant-blow breathing pattern if the client has not
learned a particular breathing pattern prenatally.
☐ Discourage pushing efforts until the cervix is fully dilated.
☐ Listen for client statements expressing the need to have a bowel movement.
This sensation is a sign of complete dilation and fetal descent.
☐ Prepare the client for the birth.
Signs and symptoms of transition phase
Cervix dilates 8-10 cm Short, but most intense phase Bloody show increases Contractions close, lengthy, intense Strong urge to bear down Leg tremors, nausea, vomiting common Behavior – irritable, loss of control, bothered
Normal contraction
( Every 2-3 minutes and lasting 60 seconds) and fetal heart pattern
Abnormal is hypertonic and hypotonic (irregular frequency)
Rationale for Vitamin K
to prevent clotting problems because liver can’t synthesize
Patient who had c-section with general anesthetic – what would be the biggest concern for MOM
hemorrhage
Rationale for pre-hydration with an epidural
to keep BP up & decrease risk for hypovolemia
Which drug is contraindicated in a Mom with an opiate addiction?
Nubain
Post C-section patient is complaining of dyspnea, diaphoretic and restless - What are these signs of?
Pulmonary Embolism
*Assess respirations/lung sounds – presence of or absence of lung sounds
Teaching after Rubella vaccination
Don’t get pregnant for at least 4 weeks
