NUR 230 Exam 1
Active phase - ANS -4-7cm of dilation. Contractions are about 2-5min apart and last about
40-60 seconds.
\At how many weeks can you see the fetus on an ultrasound? - ANS -6 weeks
\By what week should nausea and vomiting be gone? - ANS -Week 14
\Can the rubella vaccine be given during pregnancy? - ANS -No: it is a live vaccine
\Describe Naegele's Rule? - ANS -Used to determine the expected date of delivery (EDD)
\Describe pregnancy induced Hypertension - ANS -Systolic is 30mg above baseline. Swollen
hands and edema
\Examples of false labor - ANS --Irregular contractions
-Discomfort localized in the abdomen
-No change in the cervix
\Examples of true labor - ANS --Regular contractions
-Pain starts in back and radiates to abdomen
-Cervical changes
-Interval between contractions gets smaller
\How is the EDD determined? - ANS -Naegele's Rule:
(First day of last period+ 7 days) - 3 months
\How much should caffeine be decreased to? - ANS -1-2 servings a day
\In which situations would you not give oxytocin? - ANS --Breech position
-Placenta previa
-Maternal cardiac disease
\Latent phase - ANS -3cm of dilation. Contractions are about 3-30 minutes apart and last about
30-40 seconds.
\Transition phase - ANS -8-10cm of dilation. Contractions are about 1.5-2 minutes apart and last
about 60-90 seconds.
\VEAL/CHOP - ANS -Variable = Cord compression
Early = Head compression
Accelerations = Ok
Late = Placental insufficiency
\What are respiratory changes in the mother? - ANS --Nasal congestion/ nose bleeding due to
elevated estrogen levels
-RR increases
\What are stretch marks called? - ANS -Striae gravidarum
\What are the 4 stages of labor? - ANS -1. Labor
2. Birth
3. Expulsion of placenta
4. Family/Newborn interaction
\What are the different ways that uterine contractions are assessed? - ANS --Frequency
-Intensity
-Duration
-Effacement
