The most important issue related to EFM that the nurse manager is expecting to address is the reduction of failure to accurately assess maternal and fetal status. This is because EFM is intended to monitor and assess maternal and fetal status during labor and delivery, and failure to accurately interpret the data can lead to adverse outcomes such as fetal distress or injury. While the other options may also be important benefits of EFM training, reducing the risk of inaccurate assessment is the primary goal of the training.
