Antepartum
This condition involves high blood pressure after 20 weeks gestation
Gestational hypertension
These contractions are considered normal early labor findings.
mild irregular contractions
Normal uterine location immediately after delivery
at the umbilicus and firm
Used to induce labor
oxytocin or pitocin
This involves 2 accelerations within 20 minutes at least 15 seconds long 15bpm above baseline
Non stress test
Protein in the urine + hypertension in pregnancy suggests this condition
Preeclampsia
This fetal heart rate pattern is reassuring and shows head compression.
early decelerations
Bright red vaginal discharge immediately after birth is called this.
lochia rubra
drug used to prevent seizures in severe preeclampsia
magnesium sulfate
This involves a nonstress test and ultrasound
Biophysical profile
Painless bright red vaginal bleeding in pregnancy suggests this condition
placenta previa
This pattern suggests umbilical cord compression.
variable decelerations
A soft, boggy uterus indicates this complication.
uterine atony
Antidote for magnesium sulfate toxicity
calcium gluconate
This is the change in cervix color to bluish due to increased blood flow
Chadwicks
This condition causes hypertension, proteinuria, and possible seizures.
eclampsia
This is the nurse’s FIRST action for late decelerations.
reposition the client to the left side
This is the FIRST intervention for postpartum hemorrhage with a boggy uterus.
fundal massage
Respiratory depression + absent reflexes suggests toxicity from this medication.
magnesium sulfate
This is the rule for due dates where LMP is minus 3 months plus 7 days
Nageles rule
A key danger sign of severe preeclampsia that indicates CNS involvement is this symptom.
Severe headache or visual disturbances
This stage of labor begins with full dilation and ends with birth.
second stage
Heavy bleeding + boggy uterus + tachycardia indicates this life-threatening condition.
postpartum hemorrhage
This medication may be given postpartum to prevent hemorrhage by contracting the uterus.
oxytocin
This is the trimester when a psychosocial adaptation to pregancy includes fetus and the primary focus and physical evidence of pregnancy.
Second trimester
