#Low hematocrit and hemoglobin levels full
By full term, a normal maternal hemoglobin range is 11-13 g/dL as a result of the hemodilution caused by an increase in plasma volume during pregnancy. A count of 180 beats per minute could indicate fetal distress and would warrant physician notification. A normal fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats per minute. Which assessment finding would indicate a need to contact the physician?ġ.Fetal heart rate of 180 beats per minuteģ.Maternal pulse rate of 85 beats per minuteĤ.Hemoglobin of 11.0 g/dL 1. A nurse is performing an assessment of a client who is scheduled for a cesarean delivery. An intravenous pitocin infusion is discontinued when a late deceleration is noted. The client should be turned to her side to displace pressure of the gravid uterus on the inferior vena cava. The supine position is avoided because it decreases uterine blood flow to the fetus. This causes hypoxemia therefore oxygen is necessary.
Late decelerations are due to uteroplacental insufficiency as the result of decreased blood flow and oxygen to the fetus during the uterine contractions. The most appropriate nursing action is to:ġ.Place the mother in the supine positionĢ.Document the findings and continue to monitor the fetal patternsĤ.Increase the rate of pitocin IV infusion 3. The nurse is assessing the fetal patterns and notes a late deceleration on the monitor strip.
