Q

expulsion

A

shoulders and the remainder of the body deliver

117
Q

gate control theory

pleasurable sensations reach brain faster than pain does

118
Q

why should pain management be implemented before pain becomes too severe

A

if pain becomes too severe catecholamines increase and can prolong labor

119
Q

do analgesia opioids cross the placenta?

A

yes and can have effect on the fetus

120
Q

what can opioids do to labor

A

it can prolong it

121
Q

what do you need to check before giving an epidural

A

platelet count

122
Q

what should you give before giving an epidural

A

fluids because epidurals cause hypotension

123
Q

epidurals are contraindicated in

A

hypotension, infection, thrombocytopenia, and cardiac condition

124
Q

spinal anesthesia (block)

A

anesthetic injected into the 3rd, 4th, and 5th interspace into the subarachnoid space

125
Q

side effects of spinal block

A

hypotension, urinary retention, headache, and ineffective breathing patterns

126
Q

nerve block analgesia

A

injecting lidocaine into the skin - local

127
Q

nitrous oxide

A

self administered and helps with pain

128
Q

general anesthesia is used for

A

emergency c section

129
Q

indication for induction of labor

A

pregnancy after 39 weeks, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, fetal demise, chorioamnionitis, premature rupture on membrane

130
Q

fetal demis

A

baby didn’t make it

131
Q

chorioamnionitis

A

inflammation of fetal membrane due to infection of the amniotic fluid

132
Q

if water breaks baby needs to be out

A

within 24 hours

133
Q

stripping the membranes

A

use the finger to gently separate the sac from the side of the uterus

134
Q

artificial rupture of membranes AROM

A

rupturing the membrane with a tool called an amnihook

135
Q

cervical ripening agents

A

cytotec - makes the cervix softer, causing it to dilate

136
Q

after 4 hours of cytotec you may start

A

Pitocin if labor has not started

137
Q

pitocin is a

A

high risk medication and needs a double RN check

138
Q

Pitocin causes

A

uterine contractions

139
Q

low dose oxytocin administration

A

begin at 2 mu/min and increase by 2 mu/min every 30 minutes until 5 contractions in 10 minutes

140
Q

high dose Pitocin

A

141
Q

max dose of pitocin

A

20 mu/min

142
Q

143
Q

nursing actions in hypertonic uterine dysfunction

A

rest, hydrate, and sedation

144
Q

hypotonic uterine dysfunction
