VSIM : Brenda Patton
SBAR of Patient Condition
Situation:
My name is Fariyal. Patient Brenda Patton is G1P0 at 38 2/7 weeks of gestation admitted to the labor and birthing unit for labor
assessment. She is positive for Group B vaginorectal culture and is experiencing contractions. Vaginal exam reveals 50%
effacement of cervix, cervical dilation 4 cm, and fetus at -2 station.
Background:
Brenda Patton is an 18-year-old Caucasian female, G1P0 at 38 2/7 weeks of gestation admitted to the labor and birthing unit for
labor assessment. The patient states that her water may have broken earlier this morning and she thinks she is in labor. AmniSure
was positive. The patient's boyfriend is present, and she has phoned her motherto inform her of her admission. The provider has
been notified, and prenatal records have been pulled. The lab report indicates that the patient's group B strep vaginorectal culture
taken at 36 weeks was positive. The patient wishes to have a natural birth without medication. Admission intrapartum orders have
been initiated, initial labs have been drawn, and a saline lock has been placed in her forearm.
Assessment:
Her current vital signs are: HR: 88 BPM. Pulse: present. BP: 117/70 mmHg. RR: 20. LOC: appropriate. SPO2: 97%. Temp: 37C.
Uterus was soft between contractions. Contractions were regular with moderate intensity with each contraction being 4-5 minutes
apart, approximately 50 seconds each. 300 mL of clear, amniotic fluid was noted on the pad where the membrane had ruptured. The
fetal baseline heart rate is 149 which showed eriods
p of episodic acceleration.
Recommendations:
I recommend that vital signs be taken every 30 minutes due to rupture of membrane. Continue to monitor fetal heart rate for
possible signs of fetal distress due to GBS. Provide supportive care. Take note of any signs of maternal or fetal distress.
