The prenatal test usually performed between 12 and 16 weeks in order to assess for some genetic anomalies. May cause infection, spontaneous abortion, or fetal injury.
What is amniocentesis.
100
bloody show, Braxton Hicks contractions, and nesting
What are PREMONATORY signs of labor
100
using hands on the maternal abdomen to assess fetal position
What is Leopold's maneuver
100
reduces surface tension, allowing the alveoli to pop open
What is surfactant
100
a woman who has had 2 or more pregnancies resulting in viable offspring.
What is a multipara (or Multip)
200
A diagnostic test usually performed between 10 and 13 weeks gestation. May assess for genetic anomalies in the fetus. Risks include spontaneous abortion, vaginal bleeding, cramping, or limb shortening (of the fetus).
What is chorionic villus sampling.
200
progressive cervical changes PLUS contractions that are getting stronger and closer.
What is "true" labor.
200
decrease in fetal heart rate indicating head compression.
What is an early deceleration
200
lack of subcutaneous fat, large body surface area, limited use of voluntary muscles, lack of ability to shiver, blood vessels close to the surface
What are factors leading to newborn temperature instability
200
the numerical rating for a newborn who is:
pink
crying
flexed tone
breathing 46 bpm
heart rate of 120 bpm
What is APGAR score of 10
300
An indirect measurement of uteroplacental function. Assesses characteristic fetal heart rate patterns in relation to fetal movement.
What is a non-stress test.
300
the three letter abbreviation indicating that the fetus is head-down (occipital presentation), with face toward the mother's front, and the face is slightly toward the mother's left side.
What is ROP
300
measures the precise timing and intensity of maternal contractions
What is an intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC)
300
the worst time to attempt to initiate breastfeeding
What is the period of decreased responsiveness
300
physical presence, dim lighting, warm shower, position changes
What are non-pharm methods of pain relief for labor
400
the fetal assessment which includes an assessment of fetal movement, breathing movements, fetal tone, amniotic fluid volume, and NST.
What is a biophysical profile (BPP)
400
The fetal presenting part is at 0 station
What is ENGAGEMENT
400
minimal fetal heart rate variability (less than 5 beats per minute) with later decelerations
What is an emergency/fetal distress
400
decreases chance of blindness from possible gonorrhea infection.
What is erythromycin ointment to the eyes.
400
fine, dark hair on the shoulders of some newborns
What is Lanugo
500
First day of last menstrual period
subtract 3 months
add 7 days
Add 1 year
What is Nagele's rule.
500
birth of the newborn to separation of the placenta
What is the third stage of labor
500
The pain relief method most likely to result in decreased maternal blood pressure and insufficient utero-placental perfusion
What is an epidural
500
the result of decreased pulmonary vascular resistance and increased left heart pressure
What is closure of the foramen ovale
500
protects fetal skin, becomes less abundant with longer gestation.
