Basic interventions for management of any abnormal fetal heart rate pattern includes administer oxygen by nonrebreather face mask at a rate of 8 to 10 L/min,assist the woman to a side-lying (lateral)position,and increase blood volume by increasing the rate of the primary IV infusion.The purpose of these interventions is to improve uterine blood flow and intervillous space blood flow and increase maternal oxygenation and cardiac output.The term intrauterine resuscitation is sometimes used to refer to these interventions.Basic corrective measures include providing O₂,instituting maternal position changes,and increasing IV fluid volume.If these interventions do not resolve the fetal heart rate issue quickly,the primary provider should be notified immediately.In this scenario the nurse failed to alter the woman's position.To improve uterine blood flow,the woman should be repositioned onto her side.If these interventions do not resolve the fetal heart rate issue quickly,the primary provider should be notified immediately.Performing a vaginal examination would not be helpful at this time.In this scenario the nurse should have begun by applying O₂ at 8 to 10 L/min by nonrebreather face mask.
