baby's safety is also. Assure her that I will try to help her to find laboring positions that are both
safe for the fetus and comfortable for her. Let her know that not always are both objectives
possible and that I'll continue to let her know about her baby's well being.

to the extent that it is safe for the fetus.
Tell her about her pain relief options and give her permission to change her mind about decisions
she may have made from a standpoint of ignorance.
DIAGNOSIS: Alteration in fetal tissue perfusion related to maternal position, epidural,
oxytocin, rupture of membranes.
GOAL:
Fetus will be adequately perfused as evidenced by reassuring fetal monitor and absence
of late decelerations, excessive variables, or baseline changes.

Client will be free of infection as evidenced by: Maternal temperature remains WNL
during labor and fetal heart rate remains between 120 and 160.
Begin taking temperature every 2 hours after rupture of membranes and more often as indicated.
Monitor fetal heart rate continuously.
Exercise good hand washing.
Frequently change underpads.

Turn client to side-lying position with top leg flexed and bottom leg outstretched. Observe
amount of bleeding on peri-pad, chux. Inspect perineum/vulva for hematoma/laceration.
Palpate fundal height. Massage/crede as needed to maintain a constricted uterine fundus at
umbilicus. (deviation from midline suggests a full bladder.)
Assist client to maintain an empty bladder either by assisting her to use the bathroom, bedpan, or
through use of a urinary catheter.
Assess vital signs per protocol and as needed to assure ongoing hemodynamic stability.
Provide oxytocin/cytotec as needed to manage excessive bleeding.

Clear the nose and mouth of mucous, place infant in a position that allows lung expansion and
reduces risk of aspiration.
Keep infant warm and dry to reduce the oxygen consumption.
Group treatments to allow uninterrupted time for rest
Administer oxygen and monitor carefully
Gavage feed infant if respiratory rate is greater than 50 to 60 per minute to decrease possibility
of aspiration
DIAGNOSIS: Potential for infection related to prolonged rupture of membranes,
elevated maternal temperature in labor and delivery, strep B vulvar colonization,
umbilical cord, and nursery stay.
