27
What are some true signs of labor:
-regular contractions -bloody show presence -decent of the fetus into the canal (lightening) -nesting -GI distress -Wt loss of 1-3 lbs
28
What happens during the Latent Phase of labor?
-longest phase -period of excitement -contractions feel like menstral cramps and are mild to palpation
29
What happens during the active phase of labor?
-pt becomes more anxious, focused, or restless -contractions become more regular and painful -contractions are moderately strong
30
What happens during the transition phase?
-contractions are strong and close -pt may feel out of control, irritable or independent -shortest phase
31
Engagement
head reaches the ischeal spine
32
Descent
head moves past the ischeal spine
33
flexion
fetal chin touches chest in response from pressure of maternal tissue
33
internal rotation
fetal head rotates
34
extension
fetal chin comes off the chest and arches as the head is born
35
external rotation (restitution)
fetal head is born and rotates again as shoulders move position for birth
36
expulsion
body of the fetus is born
37
How long does the 2nd stage of labor last?
20 minutes - 2 hours
38
How long does the 3rd stage of labor last?
5-10 minutes (try to keep no longer than 30)
39

every 30 minutes
41
How long should continuous fetal monitoring occur in the 2nd stage of labor?
every 15 minutes
42
What is the baseline heart rate for a fetus in the womb?
110-160 bpm
43
Variability
irregular fluctuations in fetal baseline
44
Moderate Variabiltiy
has an amplitude of 6-25 bpm and is assessed over 10 minutes
45
Accelerations
an increase of baseline of at least 15x15
46
Late Decels
indicates a decrease in perfusion
47
Variable Decels
indicate cord compression
48
Early Decels
indicate heads compression
49
Prolonged Decels
indicate a decrease of at lease 15 bpm that last 2-15 minutes
50
What are the interventions for late, prolonged, or variable decels
-maternal position change -discontinue oxytocin -administer 8-10 L by nonrebreather -correct hypotention -notify provider
51
Category 1
-normal baseline -with or w/o decels -with or w/o accelerations -no variable decels -no late decels -moderate variability
52
Category 3
-absent variability with reccurent variable decels -absent variability with recurrent late decels -absent variability with bradycardia -sinosodial pattern
53
Uterine Tachysystole
5 or more contractions in 10 minutes averages over 30 minutes
54
What are some factors that influence labor pain tolerance?
-fear -previous labor pain -support -fatigue
55
How long does it take most pregnancy changes to go back to normal?
6 weeks
56
Involution
shrinking of uterus back to its original size
57
Why does the uterus contract even after birth?
to prevent from hemmoraging

500-1000ml
63
Taking in phase
when the patient is recovering and takes a passive, dependent role
64
Taking hold phase
when the patient processes the birth experience and transitions into a more dependent role
65
Letting go phase
when the patient acknowledges the new normal and sees the baby as a person and not as an idea
66
What does BUBBLEE-E stand for ?
Breasts, Uterus, Bladder, Bowels, Lochia, Extremities, Episiotomy, and Emotion
67
What are some complications of a C-section?
-endometriosis -surgical wounds (dehiscence, infections and hematoma) -hemmorhage -surgical injury -clots
68
Evaporation
heat loss due to the evaporation of liquids from the body. dry thoroughly after birth, stabilize temp, bathe in a warm environment
69
Conduction
transfer of heat by a direct content w/ a cooler object Place in pre-warmed surfaces
70
Convection
heat transfer from a new born to surrounding air
71
Radiation
transfer of heat from or to the newborn from or to nearby surfaces keep away from cool windows or walls
72

immediately after birth and stands for apperance, pulse, grimace, activity and respirations
