Question 1 of 5

The nurse is about to auscultate an FHR on the client in triage. What information should the nurse determine first in order to find the correct placement for auscultation?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The nurse should first perform Leopold’s maneuvers to determine the fetal position. This will enable proper placement of the Doppler device over the location of the FHR. The position of the placenta can provide important information. However, if the Doppler device is placed over the placenta, the nurse will hear a swishing sound and not the FHR. The FHR is still assessed regardless of the presence of contractions. The nurse who has difficulty obtaining an FHR because of a contraction can listen again once the contraction has concluded. Ultrasonic gel is used with any ultrasound device and allows for the conduction of sound and continuous contact of the device with the maternal abdomen. In order to apply the gel to the correct location, the position of the fetus must be known.
