The nurse is observing a student provide care to a client who is in early labor. Which student actions should be corrected?
1. Applying a fetal heart monitor followed by an explanation of the reason for its use
2. Upon entering the room, speaking with the client prior to looking at the fetal heart monitor
3. Using layman's terms to provide the client with an explanation of the reason for electronic fetal monitoring
4. Incorporating cues that arise from intuition or from observations of the client and family as opposed to focusing on the fetal heart monitor
Question 2
The client in labor with meconium-stained amniotic fluid asks why the fetal monitor is necessary because the belt is uncomfortable. What should the nurse explain about monitoring?
1. It helps us to see how the baby is tolerating labor.
2. It can be removed, and oxygen can be given instead.
3. It is necessary so we can see how your labor is progressing.
4. It will prevent complications from the meconium in your fluid.
