Question
Answer
What are the Four Ps of Labor?   Passageway, Passenger, Powers, psyche  
🗑
Problem in any area of the Four Ps influences labor   negatively  
🗑
Passageway consists of   bony pelvis and soft tissue  
🗑
The pelvic shape most favorable for vaginal birth2   gynecoid  
🗑
Birth Canal is the   soft tissue of the cervix and vagina  
🗑
Effacement occurs first   then dilation (thinning and opening of cervix  
🗑
Passenger ingludes   Fetal skull and the fetal accomodation to the passageway.  
🗑
The fetal accomodation to the passageway is how their spine is in conjunction with   the mothers spine.  
🗑
Longitudinal Lie   the Long axis of the fetus is parallel to the long axis of the mother  
🗑
Oblique Lie   In between longitudinal and traverse lie  
🗑
traverse lie   the Long axis of the fetus is perpindicular to the long axis of the woman  
🗑
Presentation   foremost part of the fetus that enters the pelvic inlet  
🗑
Cephalic presentation   head  
🗑
breech presentation   feet or buttocks  
🗑
shoulder presentation   shoulder... (duh)  
🗑
Attitude   relationship of fetal parts to one another: ovoid, military, brow, or face  
🗑
Position   the relationship of the reference point on the presenting part to the quadrants of the maternal pelvis  
🗑
Zero Station   Presenting part is at the level of iscial spines (at the door)  
🗑
Minus Station   Presenting part is above the ischial spines (up in the body)  
🗑
Plus station   presenting part is below the iscial spines (coming out)  
🗑
Powers   Phases of involuntary uterine contraction  
🗑
Parts of the contraction: Increment   building up of the contraction - longest phase  
🗑
Parts of the contraction: Acme   Peak  
🗑
Parts of the contraction: Decrement   letting up phase  
🗑
Parts of the contraction: Relaxation   Rest period in between contraction  
🗑
Psyche   Factors impacting the psyche of laboring woman Including: current prgnancy experienc, previous birth experiences, expectations, prep for birth, and process of labor  
🗑
Cardinal Movements of Labor   Engagement - Descent - Flexion - Internal rotation - extension - external rotation - expulsion  
🗑
When to go to a hospital   When the mother not only FEELS the baby coming but MENTALLY knows the baby is coming and even contraction  
🗑
Early Stage of labor Activity   Excited and Talkative  
🗑
During active labor activity   more introverted - focusing energies in coping with the stress of contraction  
🗑
Spiral electrode is attached to   the presenting part just under the skina dn records a graphic representation of FHR. Easier to obtain consistent tracing. Increases risk of maternal and fetal infection and injury.  
🗑
Baseline Fetal Heart Rate   measured between uterin econtractions during a 10 minute period.  
🗑
Normally accepted baseline rate is between   110 bpm and 160 bpm  
🗑
Fluctuations of the baseline rate are normal if   greater than 6bpm amnd less than 25bpm  
🗑
Periodic changes are variations in the FHR pattern that   occur in conjuctions with the uterine contractions  
🗑
Episodic changes are variations in the FHR pattern   not associated with uterine contractions  
🗑
Prodromal Labor   increase in braxton hicks contractions without cervical changes - can be uncomfotable  
🗑
True Labor   progressive dilation and effacement of cervix  
🗑
Early decelerations are   benign periodic changes.  
🗑
Late decelerations indicate   uteroplacental insufficiency  
🗑
variable decelerations indicate some type of   acute imbilical cord compression  
🗑
Decelerations are changes of the FHR   below the baseline  
🗑
The nurses role to help with decelerations   ongoing assessment of uterine contractions and FHR  
🗑
Stages of Labor:   First STage: Dilation - Early, Active, Trasition. SEcond Stage: Birth. Third Stage: Delivery of Placenta. Fourth Stage: Recover.  
🗑
Lightening   Sense that the baby has "dropped"  
🗑
Assessment during the start of labor   FHR and contractions at least once every hour, maternal status, status of fetal membranes, the womans psychosocial state.  
🗑
Ineffective breathing pattern: hyperventilation   related to anxiety and/or inappropriate application of breathing techniques.  
🗑
Narcotics too late   Blast phase/trasition of labor - too late!  
🗑
Bishop Scale   cervix is ripened or not and ready for inducement  
🗑
Cesarean Section   Surgical delivery of fetus through incisions in the mother's abdomen and uterus  
🗑
VBAC Contraindications   Previous classic Csection uterine scar, placenta previa, history of previous uterine rupture, lack of facitilites or equipment to perform immediate Csection  
🗑
Indications of Cesarean   History of previous cesarean, labor dystocia, non-reassuring fetal status, fetal malpresentation  
🗑
Nonpharmacologic Intervention for pain relief: Continuous labor support   Helped with a trained nurse or doula (trained layperson who coaches) increases the coping ability of the laboring woman. Fewer requests for pain meds. lower rate of Csections.  
🗑
Nonpharmacologic Intervention for pain relief: Comfort Measures   Lip balm, ice chips, lollipops, clear liquids, Changing soiled linens, Warm perineal care  
🗑
Nonpharmacologic Intervention for pain relief: Relaxation Techniques   These include: patterned breathing, attention focusing, movement and positioning, touch and massage, water therapy, hypnosis  
🗑
Pharmacologic Interventions for pain relief: Analgesia and sedation   Opioids, help to tolerate labor contractions by causing relaxation and sleep between contractions.  
🗑
Narcan   antidote for opidoids  
🗑
Pharmacologic Interventions for pain relief: Anesthesia   Local, Regional, and general. Local numbs perineum just before birth. Regional pain relief during labor and birth (preferred for nonemergent cesarean), General for emergencies  
🗑
Magnesium sulfate and brethine   Stops premature labor  
🗑
Meconium aspiration is   respiratory distress due to poop aspiration  
🗑
Two types of labor dystocia: Disorder of Protraction and disorder of arrest   protraction: abnormally slow progression of labor; arrest: total lack of progress  
🗑
Diagnosis of labor dystocia is made after two hours of   no change in either dilation or descent  
🗑
Nursing care for Hypotonic uterin dysfonction   Carefully assess fetal lie, presentation, and position. assess contraction pattern every 30 minutes. fetal response to uterin econtractions. thorough pain assess every hour. plot cervical changes. determine if woman might benefit from pain relief.  
🗑
Nitrazine Paper   To test vaginal pH during late pregnancy to determine the breakage of the amniotic sac. While vaginal pH is normally acidic, a pH above 7.0 can indicate that the amniotic sac has ruptured.  
🗑
Bloody SHow   the passage of a small amount of blood or blood-tinged mucus through the vagina near the end of pregnancy. It can occur just before labor or in early labor as the cevix changes shape. Freeing mucus and blood that occupied the cervix.  
🗑
Rupture of Membranes (ROM)   rupture of amniotic sac. "spontaneously" occurs at full term at the onset of, or during, labor. aka breaking water. Production of the hormone prostaglandin increases speeding up contractions.  
🗑
Umbilical Cord Prolapse   when the UC slips down in front of the presenting part. It occurs rarely in vertex presentations. Immediate Csection is treatment.  
🗑
Shoulder dystocia treatments   Mcroberts maneuver (tried first) two nurses holding the leg up. Suprapubic manuever - Mcroberts plus applying pressure.  
🗑
