🗑
What are two most important fontanels and where are they?   Anterior: larger, diamond, close 18mos Posterior: triangle, close 6-8wks  
🗑
what are 4 presenting parts on skull   occiput - back vertex - crown(best) sinciput - forehead mentum - chin  
🗑
what is presentation mean? What are 3 main presenting positions   Which end of baby comes first cephalic - head Breech - bottom Shoulder  
🗑
What are 4 variatinos of cephalic presentattion   Vertex - occiput, chin tucked Military - top of head Brow Face  
🗑
what are 3 variations of breech position   Full/Complete - tucked (good) Frank - piked Footing - can opener  
🗑
What is fetal lie and what are the variatons   orientation of long axis of fetus to woman longitudinal/vertical: breech/cephalic transverse/oblique/horizontal: shoulder  
🗑
what is fetal attitude and it's variations   relation of fetal body parts to one another, chin tucked or not Flexion or Extension  
🗑
what is fetal position   location of fixed point on presenting part in relation to 4 quads of mom pelvis  
🗑
what are 4 quadrants of mom pelvis   r/l posterior r/l anterior  
🗑
How is fetal position recorded   R/L- right/left O/M/S/Sc - occiput/mentum/sacrum/scapula A/P/T - anterior/posterior/transverse ex: ROP = right occiputoposterior  
🗑
How do you determine fetal position   It's where the presenting part if pointing  
🗑
what is ideal fetal position? What is sunny side up?   OA- occipital anterior sunny side: OP - occiput posterior  
🗑
What is station   presenting part in relationship to pelvic ischial spines  
🗑
what are possible stations   0- level with spines +1 - just below +2 - further +3 - call MD +4 - birth  
🗑
What is engagement   reaching or passing pelvic inlet or true pelvis, which is below ischial spines. False pelvis is above spines  
🗑
What is the passageway   birth canal and consists of: bony pelvis, lower uterine seg, cervix, pelvic floor muscles, vagina, introitus(ext opening of vag) Must be determined b4 labor and head is major factor in course of birth  
🗑

🗑
what are 4 diff pelvic types   gynecoid: round, vaginal android: heart, male, c-section antropoid: oval platypelloid: horizontal oval  
🗑
What are the primary and secondary powers   primary: involuntary Uterine contractions - effacement,dilation, Ferguson reflex (descent/bear down) Secondary: mom pushing, bearing down efforts  
🗑
what are three phases of contraction   increment, acme(peak), decrement then resting phase  
🗑
what is freqency of contractions   end of one to beg of another  
🗑
What is effacement What is dilation   effacement: thinning of cervix, 0-100% dialtion: cervix opens, 1 - 10cm  
🗑
What are two things that effect labor   pushing and position  
🗑
What is labor   process of moving fetus, placenta, and membranes out of uterus adn thru birth canal  
🗑
what is premonitory signs   signs preceding labor: lightening/dropping in true pelvis, urinary freq, backache, braxton hicks, wt loss, energy spurt, bloody show, cervial ripen, rupture of membranes  
🗑
What is difference bn true labor adn false   true: discomfort in abd and back, cervical change, regular contractions that shorten, more intense False: no cervix change, irregular ctxs, no chg in interval or intensity  
🗑
How many stages of labor   4 stages Stage 1: 0-10 dilation Stage 2: pushing Stage 3: delivery of placenta Stage 4: recovery  
🗑
what are 3 phases of Stage 1   latent- early 1-3cm, more effacement, little dilation active: 4-7cm, dilation and descent transition: 8-10cm active-  
🗑
