Testing urine for glucose and protein is performed at each prenatal visit. Although blood pressure is monitored during each prenatal visit, it is not a laboratory test. Hemoglobin and hematocrit are assessed at the initial visit, but not reassessed unless problems necessitate they be measured again. Serologic test for syphilis is measured only on the initial visit.

Providing oxygen via facial mask may help the oxygenation for the fetus by providing oxygen via face mask to the laboring mother, but it is not the appropriate nursing action.
