In evaluating the effectiveness of oxytocin induction, the nurse would expect:
 
  1. contractions lasting 40 to 90 seconds, 2 to 3 minutes apart.
  2. the intensity of contractions to be at least 110 to 130 mm Hg.
  3. labor to progress at least 2 cm/hr dilation.
  4. at least 30 mU/min of oxytocin will be needed to achieve cervical dilation.

Question 2

Maternal nutritional status is an especially significant factor of the many that influence the outcome of pregnancy because:
 
  1. it is very difficult to adjust because of people's ingrained eating habits.
  2. it is an important preventive measure for a variety of problems.

Answer to Question 1

1
1. Correct. The goal of induction of labor is to produce contractions that occur every 2 to 3 minutes lasting 60 to 90 seconds.
2. Incorrect. The intensity of the contractions should be 40 to 90 mm Hg by IUPC.
3. Incorrect. Cervical dilation of 1 cm/hr in the active phase of labor is the goal in an oxyto-cin induction.
4. Incorrect. The dose is increased by 1 to 2 mU/min at intervals of 30 to 60 minutes until the desired contraction pattern is achieved. Doses are increased up to 20 to 40 mU/min maximum.

Answer to Question 2

2
1, 3, 4. Incorrect. Nutritional status gets so much attention not only for its effect on a healthy pregnancy and birth but because significant changes are within relatively easy reach.
2. Correct. Nutritional status gets so much attention not only for its effect on a healthy pregnan-cy and birth but because significant changes are within relatively easy reach.
