According to standard professional thinking, nurses should auscultate the FHR:
 
  1. every 15 minutes in the active phase of the first stage in the absence of risk fac-tors.
  2. every 20 minutes in the second stage whether or not risk factors are present.
  3. before and after ambulation and rupture of membranes.
  4. more often in a woman's first pregnancy.

Question 2

When helping the mother, father, and other family members actualize the loss of the infant, nurses should:
 
  1. use the words lost or gone rather than dead or died.
  2. make sure that they understand it is important to name the baby.
  3. if the parents choose to visit with the baby, apply powder and lotion to the baby and wrap him/her in a pretty blanket.
  4. set a firm time for ending the visit with the baby so that the parents know when to let go.

Answer to Question 2

3
1. Incorrect. Nurses must use dead and died to assist the bereaved in accepting reality.
2. Incorrect. Although naming the baby can be helpful, it is important not to create the sense that parents have to name the baby. In fact, some cultural taboos and religious rules prohibit the naming of an infant who has died.
3. Correct. Presenting the baby in a nice way stimulates the parents' senses and provides pleasant memories of their baby.
4. Incorrect. Parents need different time periods with their baby to say goodbye. Nurses need to be careful not to rush the process.
