and two tubes connected to earpieces.

29
Q

A structurally modified device which can amplify the
fetal heartbeat in the 20th week of pregnancy and
beyond.

A

Fetoscope or fetal stethoscope:

30
Q

A handheld ultrasound device using the Doppler effect
to create an audible simulation of the heartbeat via a
loudspeaker or earpiece.

A

LEOPOLD’S MANEUVERS

32
Q

What week is leopold’s maneuver performed

A

24 weeks of gestation

33
Q

THE FOUR MANEUVERS

A

First maneuver ( Fundal Grip)
Second Maneuver (Lateral Grip/Umbilical Grip)
Third Maneuver (Pawlik’s Grip)
Fourth Maneuver (Pelvic Grip)

34
Q

This determines what part of the fetus is in the
fundus

A

Fundal Grip

35
Q

to locate/identify the fetal back in relation to the
right and left sides of the mother.
■ to determine the fetal position (the relationship of
the presenting part to one of the quadrants of the
mother’s pelvis

A

Lateral Grip/Umbilical Grip

36
Q

This maneuver confirms the fetal position
(engagement of presenting part) to find the heat at
the pelvis and to determine the mobility of the
presenting part.

A

Pawlik’s Grip

37
Q

is a clear, slightly yellowish liquid that surrounds the unborn baby (fetus) during pregnancy.

A

Amniotic fluid

38
Q

is a measure of
the size of the uterus used to assess fetal growth and
development during pregnancy.

A

Fundal height, or McDonald’s rule,

39
Q

is when the baby’s legs are folded flat
up against his head and his bottom is closest to the
birth canal.

A

Frank Breech

40
Q

is when both of the baby’s knees
are bent and his feet and bottom are closest to the birth
canal.

A

Complete Breech

41
Q

is when one of the baby’s knees
is bent and his foot and bottom are closest to the birth
canal.

A

Incomplete Breech/footling breech

42
Q

The process of giving birth.

A

Delivery

43
Q

The process of childbirth, especially the period from the
onset of uterine contractions and ends with delivery of
the newborn and expulsion of the placenta.

pressure on contracted uterine fundus by physician or
nurse- midwife

A

Crede’s maneuver

46
Q

a supine position of the body with the legs separated, flexed, and supported in raised stirrups, can used for childbirth.

Q

technique for expressing the placenta from the uterus that

Applies for perineal support and does controlled delivery of
the head

A

52
Q

(rest period) is timed from the end of 1 contraction
to beginning of next contraction

A

53
Q

(duration plus interval) is timed from the start of
one contraction to the start of the next. It includes the contraction
as well as the rest period until the next contraction begins. This
time is measured in minutes.

A

FREQUENCY

54
Q

(strength)The peak of the contraction less the
resting tone.

A

INTENSITY

55
Q

If the placenta separates first
at its center and last at its
edges, it tends to fold on itself
like an umbrella and will
present at the vaginal opening
with the fetal surface evident.

A

Schultze’s placenta.
