Study Notes
Maternal Newborn Maternal Child Health Nursing
Water Intoxication
- Water intoxication is a risk for clients who receive oxytocin over a long period of time
- Oxytocin molecule is similar in structure to the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) molecule
- The body retains fluids in response to the medication much like it would in response to ADH
- Nurses should carefully monitor intake and output when clients are induced with oxytocin
Fetal Heart Rate
- A sinusoidal fetal heart pattern may be observed while analyzing a fetal heart tracing of a newly admitted client
- This warrants notification of the practitioner
- Fetal heart rate decelerations can occur due to umbilical cord compression
- Changing the mother's position may resolve the decelerations
Labor and Delivery
- Induction is contraindicated in transverse lie
- Prolonged labor is not associated with maternal illicit drug use
- Placental abruption is associated with maternal illicit drug use
- Substance abuse is not a contraindication for analgesic medication in labor
Nursing Interventions
- In the event of a woman suddenly developing an amniotic fluid embolism during labor, the nursing care outcome may include the client exhibiting normal breathing function at discharge
- In the event of a client experiencing dypsnea and cyanosis during oxytocin induction, the priority nursing intervention is to stop the oxytocin infusion
- If a client is experiencing a sinusoidal fetal heart pattern, the nurse should notify the practitioner
- If a client is experiencing severe variable decelerations, the nurse should reposition the woman first
Medication Administration
- When administering oxytocin, the nurse must determine the number of milliunits in 1,000 mL of fluid and calculate the mL per hour for the infusion pump
- 10 units in 1,000 mL = 10,000 milliunits in 1,000 mL
