Interventions for prolapsed umbilical cord
• Call for assistance immediately, notifying the provider
• Reposition the client in a knee-chest , Trendelenburg or, side-lying position with a rolled towel under the client’s right or left hip to relieve pressure on the cord
• Apply a warm, sterile, saline-soaked towel to the visible cord to prevent drying and maintain blood flow
Priority interventions to prevent meconium aspiration
• Assess neonate’s respiratory efforts, muscle tone, and heart rate
• Suction mouth and nose using a bulb syringe if respiratory efforts are strong, muscle tone , and heart rate greater than 100/min
• Suction below vocal cords using an endotracheal tube before spontaneous breath occurs if respirations are depressed, muscle tone decreased, and heart rate less than 100/min
Findings of contraction stress test
• Negative CST ( normal findings): Indicated if within a 10min period, with three uterine contractions, there are no late decelerations of the FHR
• Positive CST ( abnormal finding): indicated with persistent and consistent late decelerations with 50% or more of the contractions; suggestive of uteroplacental insufficiency
Fundal height
• Immediately after delivery, the fundus should be firm, midline with the umbilicus, and approximately at the level of the umbilicus
• At 12 hours postpartum, the fundus May be palpated at 1 cm above the umbilicus
• Every 24 hrs , the fundus should descent approximately 1 to 2 cm

1. How can the nurse prevent infant abduction?
Identification is applied to the newborn by the nurse immediately after birth. The nurse should ensure the information on the infant’s and parent’s bracelets matches exactly. It is an important safety measure to prevent the newborn from being given to the wrong parents, switched, or abducted. The newborn, client, and client’s partner are identified by plastic identification wristbands with permanent locks that must be cut to be removed. Identification bands should include the newborn’s name, sex, date, and time of birth, and client’s medical record number. The newborn should have one band placed on the ankle and one on the wrist. In addition, the newborn’s footprints and client’s finger print are taken. The above information is also included with the footprint sheet
