The perinatal nurse has assessed Neela, who has a twin pregnancy, and made the following determinations: blood pressure = 136/80; pulse rate = 84; fetal heart rates (FHRs) are between 138146 bpm and 132138 bpm; uterine contractions occur every
 
  56 minutes, duration = 45 seconds, moderate strength. Neela's birth plan describes her wish to be involved in all decision-making throughout her labor and birth as well as her partner's wish to say a prayer in each infant's ear as soon after birth as possible (he is a Muslim).
