1. The process of labor and birth: Powers (physiological forces,
primary [contractions] secondary [maternal pushing])
Passagway
Passenger
Passageway + Passenger
Psychosocial influences
2. Frequency of contractions: beginning of one contraction to
the beginning of the next
3. Duration of contraction: The length of a contraction,
measured from the beginning to its completion
4. Tocodynamometer: An external instrument for measuring the
force of uterine contractions using a pressure sensitive device
that is applied against the uterine fundus.
5. Intrauterine Pressure Catheter (IUPC): A catheter that can be
placed through the cervix into the uterus to measure uterine
pressure during labor. Some types of catheters may be inserted
for the purpose of infusing warmed saline to add additional
intrauterine fluid when oligohydramnios (not enough amniotic
fluid) is present.
6. According to the IUPC, the normal resting tone of the
uterus.: Between 10 to
12 mm Hg
7. According to the IUPC, the acme of the contraction during
early labor.: From
NSG 3500
, 25 to 40 mm Hg
8. According to the IUPC, the acme of the contraction during
active labor: From 50 to 70 mm Hg
9. According to the IUPC, the acme of the contraction during
the transition phase of labor: From 70 to 90 mm Hg
10. According to the IUPC, the acme of the contraction during
the pushing phase of the second stage of labor: From 70
to 100 mm Hg
11. Parts of a contraction: increment, acme, decrement
12. True labor contractions: Stronger, last longer, more
frequent, felt in lower back radiating to abdomen,doesn't
decrease with comfort measures, walking can increase
intensity, cervix shows progressive change
13. False labor contractions: Decrease in frequency, duration,
and intensity, often painless, irregular frequency, felt in lower
back or abdomen above umbilicus, often stop with sleep or
comfort measures, no cervical change with these contractions
14. fetal lie: relationship of the long axis of the fetus to the
long axis of the mother 15. Fetal lie: longitudinal: The head
to tailbone axis of the fetus is the same as the mother's
16 fetal lie: transverse: The head to tailbone axis of the fetus is
at a 90-degree angle of the mother
17. Fetal lie
Oblique: the unstable line is diagonal and most change
themselves to a longitudinal lie or transverse lie if transverse can't
be born vaginally
18. fetal attitude: relationship of fetal body parts to one another
19. Fetal attitude: vertex: Flexion The fetal head is flexed so that
the chin touches the chest., the arms are flexed and folded
across the chest, the thighs are flexed on the abdomen, and
the calves are flexed against the posterior aspects of the
thighs.
20. Fetal attitude: moderate flexion: Military position
21. Fetal attitude: Extension of the chin: Brow or mentum
