31
Q

point values of biophysical profile

A

each category = 2pts, 10pt total

32
Q

what is a reactive NST vs nonreactive

A

reactive- 2+ accelerations in 20min; inc FHR >15bpm from baseline lasting >15sec
nonreactive- no FHR accelerations or <15bpm from baseline lasting <15sec

33
Q

what does a reactive NST mean

A

fetal well being

repeat NST weekly/biweekly

34
Q

what does a nonreactive NST mean

A

sleeping, immature or compromised fetus

try vibratory stimulation or contraction stress test

35
Q

what is a contraction stress test

A

measure fetal response to stress @ times of contraction

36
Q

what is a negative contraction stress test

A

no late deceleration in presence of 3 contractions in 10min

fetal well being

37
Q

what is a positive contraction stress test

A

repetitive late decelerations in presence of 3 contractions in 10min
worrisome, prompt delivery

38

49
Q

what is lightening

A

fetal head descends into pelvis -> baby feels lighter to mom

50
Q

what are the cardinal movements of labor

A

engagement- fetal presenting part enters pelvic inlet
flexion- flexion of head to allow smallest diameter to present into pelvis
descent- passage of head into pelvis (lightening)
internal rotation- fetal vertex moves from occiput transverse position to position where sagittal suture is parallel to anteroposterior diameter of pelvis
extension- vertex extends as it passes beneath pubic symphysis
external rotation- fetus externally rotates after head is delivered so shoulder can pass

51
Q

stages of labor

A

I- onset (True regular contractions) to full dilation of cervix
II- full cervical dilation to delivery
III- postpartum until placenta delivers
IV- 1-2h s/p delivery when mom is assessed for complications

52
Q

what are the 2 phases of stage I of labor

A

latent- cervix effacement w gradual dilation

active- rapid cervical dilation (usu at 3-4cm)

53
Q

what are the 2 phases of stage II of labor

A

passive- complete dilation to active maternal expulsive efforts
active- active maternal expulsive efforts to delivery of fetus

54
Q

what are the 3 signs of placental separation in stage III of labor

A

gush of blood
lengthening of umbilical cord
anterior-cephalad movement of uterine funds (becomes globular + firmer)

55
Q

what is considered a normal vs critical APGAR score
