ANS-Assessments of eclampsia
abnormal FHR tracing, variable or prolonged decelerations or bradycardia, loss of fetal station
can also occur
mom can experience constant abd. pain, uterine tenderness, change in uterine shape, and
cessation of contra ions, hypovalemic shock caused by hemorrhage - ANS-How does uterine
rupture affect mom/baby?
accelerations are >=15 bpm above baseline for 15 seconds - ANS-Reassuring fetal tracings
apparent change in FHR below baseline. caused by a dominance of a parasympathetic
response. described by their visual relation to the onset and end of contraction by their shape. -
ANS-What are decelerations?
apparent increase in FHR above baseline. peak at least 15 beats/minute above baseline with
return to baseline less than 2 minutes - ANS-What are accelerations?
bacterial infection of the amniotic cavity, major cause of complications for mothers and
newborns. most often occurs after membranes rupture or labor begins - ANS-What is
choriamnionitis?

cervical softening and dilation by using 2 fingers to determine cm. dilation, effacement, and
station - ANS-What is measured in a cervical exam?

glucose levels and diet controlled
Class A2: not known to have diabetes before pregnancy but requires medication for blood
glucose control - ANS-Classes of gestational diabetes

eclampsia
correction of underlying disease - ANS-Intervention for DIC
cutaneous stimulation strategies:
