Question 1 of 5
A primipara is being evaluated in the clinic during her second trimester of pregnancy. The nurse checks the fetal heart rate (FHR) and notes that it is 190 beats/min. What is the appropriate initial nursing action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The FHR should be between 120 and 160 beats/min. In this situation, the FHR is elevated from the normal range, and the nurse should consult with the primary health care provider. The FHR would be documented, but option 3 is the appropriate action. The nurse would not tell the client that the FHR is fast at this point in time. Option 4 is an inappropriate action.
