Bedrest is not a benign intervention,and there is no evidence in the literature to support the effectiveness of this intervention in reducing preterm birth rates.Nursing assessments will differ somewhat from those performed in the acute care setting,but this is not the concern that needs to be addressed.Restricted activity and medication may prevent preterm labour,but not in all women.In addition,the plan of care is individualized to meet the needs of each woman.Many women will receive home health nurse visits,but care is individualized for each woman.
