A nurse is preparing a change-of-shift report and has been caring for a
multigravid client with a normally progressing labor. Which information
should be part of this report? Select all that apply.
- interpretation of the fetal monitor strip
- support persons with the client
- prior birth history
- analgesia or anesthesia being used
A nurse is evaluating the external fetal monitoring strip of a client who
is in labor. The nurse notes decreases in the fetal heart rate (FHR) that
start with the beginning of the client's contraction and return to
baseline before the end of the contraction. What term does the nurse
use to document this finding?
early decelerations
A client is attempting to give birth vaginally despite the fact that the
client's previous child was born by cesarean birth. Contractions are 2 to
3 minutes apart, lasting from 5 to 100 seconds. Suddenly, the client

reports of intense abdominal pain and the fetal monitor stops picking

accelerations lasting 15 seconds and exceeding the baseline with fetal
movement. What action associated with this finding should the nurse

uncomfortable uterine contractions. To augment labor, the health care
