Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving oxytocin for induction of labor and notes late decelerations of the fetal heart rate on the monitor Tracing. Which of the following action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Late decelerations of the fetal heart rate can indicate uteroplacental insufficiency, which may be a result of decreased oxygen supply to the fetus. Placing the client in a lateral position can help enhance uteroplacental perfusion by relieving pressure on the vena cava and improving maternal blood flow to the placenta. This position change can help improve fetal oxygenation and decrease the occurrence of late decelerations. Other actions such as administering oxygen and assessing for other contributing factors should also be done, but placing the client in a lateral position is the most appropriate immediate intervention in this scenario.
