Newborn Care UPDATED ACTUAL
Questions and CORRECT Answers
,Veal Chop Mine A mnemonic for fetal monitoring:
V- variable deceleration, C- cord compression, M-
move patient (left side),
E- early deceleration, H- Head compression, I-
identify labor progress,
A- acceleration, O- okay, N- no actions needed,
L- Late deceleration, P- Placental insufficiency, E-
execute actions immediately.
Late deceleration Baby's heart rate dips after the contraction due to
uteroplacental insufficiency; interventions include:
turning the patient on the left side
stopping Pitocin
giving O2
and calling the doctor.
Early deceleration Baby dips/responds to contraction early then
returns to normal, caused by head compression,
with no nursing interventions needed.
, Variable decelerations Caused by umbilical cord compression,
characterized by a sharp drop in fetal heart rate
that looks like a V and is not related to
contractions.
