Q

What is the intervention for early decelerations?

A

Nothing; just document it

48

Baby doesnt get enough oxygen

50
Q

No

54
Q

What are 2 reasons why we would want a laboring woman to keep her bladder empty?

A
  • Can impede descent of baby

- Can cause bladder trauma (leads to decreased bladder tone or uterine atony after birth)

55
Q

Why are women given an IV bolus before an epidural?

A

More fluid=more space

This helps keep mom from becoming hypotensive

56
Q

What happens if mom has a hypotensive episode. What do we do?

A
  • Turn to lateral position or use a wedge hip
  • Increase fluids
  • Administer O2
  • Elevate clients legs (10-20 degrees)
  • Call doc
  • Give vasoconstrictor drug per order

A

Ephedrine
