The Nurse Is Looking at an EFM Strip and Sees

Question 18

Multiple Choice

The nurse is looking at an EFM strip and sees that the patient is having contractions that are measuring 150 MVU every 10 minutes for the past 2 hours and the fetus is in fetal distress. What would this indicate for next steps?


A) The patients' contractions are adequate, so the main focus should be on resuscitating the fetus with maternal oxygen and maternal position change.
B) The patients' contractions are inadequate; the provider could consider an amnioinfusion through the IUPC, and once the fetus has improved, contractions need to be augmented to be more effective.
C) The patients' contractions are adequate, so the main focus should be on determining her progress through cervical change.
D) The patients' contractions are inadequate; the provider could consider augmenting with Pitocin to be more effective.
