Stations - answer✔✔Degree to which the fetus has descended into the birth canal
What do you do for late deceleration? - answer✔✔Reposition mom - left side
Stop pitocin
Administer O2
Administer IV fluids
Non-stress test (NST) - answer✔✔assess fetal well being; fetal movement
Reactive non-stress test - answer✔✔recording of a minimum of 2 FHR accelerations (15bpm for
at least 15 sec per episode) w/ fetal movement w/in a 20 min period
Nonreactive NST - answer✔✔insufficient accelerations over 40 minutes: after buzzer and sugary
foods

, Okay
Placental insufficiency
MINE - answer✔✔move mother (left side)
intervention not necessary
no intervention needed
evaluate for why
what is the goal of tocolysis? - answer✔✔stop preterm labor
Tocolysis - answer✔✔repression of uterine contractions; stopping labor
Tocolytic drugs - answer✔✔terbutaline, magnesium sulfate, nifedipine
nifedipine (procardia) - answer✔✔Tocolytic. Side effects: hypotension, fatigue, nausea, flushing,
uteroplacental perfusion complications. Monitor BP, avoid concurrent use with magnesium
sulfate, monitor contractions and FHT, prevent complication with hypotension.
Trebutaline (Brethine) - answer✔✔assess HR before giving - can cause tachycardia (beta2-
adrenergic agonist)
what should you monitor with mag sulfate? - answer✔✔respirations
preterm labor patient education - answer✔✔no heavy lifting; no long travel; minimize standing;
pelvic rest; no breast stimulation
does betamethasone increase blood glucose for mom? - answer✔✔yes, you should be monitoring
BGM
is mom more susceptible for infections when getting betamethasone? - answer✔✔yes - assess for
S&S of infection
why should you monitor BP when giving betamethasone? - answer✔✔it can increase
hypertension
assessing fetal lung maturity with amniocentesis ratio - answer✔✔2:1
naegele's rule - answer✔✔add 7 days to first day of LMP, subtract 3 months
gestation - answer✔✔number of completed weeks of fetal development
term delivery - answer✔✔38-41 6/7 days
post term - answer✔✔beyond 42 weeks
