Patient Data

Click to highlight the notes that demonstrate a positive outcome.

The client is admitted to the hospital after her membranes rupture at 38 weeks gestation. A vaginal examination is done. The nurse determines that the client is 3 cm dilated, 40% effaced, and the fetal head is at -1 station. The external monitor snows that contractions are occurring every 4 minutes and lasting 70 seconds, and the nurse palpates the quality as strong. Her fasting blood glucose (FSBG) is 86 (4.8 mmol/L).

The client is transferred to the labor- delivery-recovery (LDR) suite. The client dilates quickly to 10 cm and feels a strong urge to push. The fetal heart rate is reassuring with a baseline of 145 and moderate variability. The nurse briefly reviews pushing techniques with her and her husband and notifies the obstetrician of the client's progress. After three cycles of open-glottis pushing, the baby's head is crowning. The head is born easily over an intact perineum. The infant weighs 9 lbs. 9 oz (4.34 kgs) and has an Apgar of 7 at 1 minute, then 9 at 5 minutes.
