ATI OB Obstetrics RN 300 Exam Questions
Extract:
A nurse in the labor and delivery unit is caring for a client who is undergoing external fetal monitoring. The nurse observes that the fetal heart rate begins to slow after the start of a contraction and the lowest rate occurs after the peak of the contraction.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Place the client in the lateral position. This is the first action the nurse should take in a client experiencing a potential airway obstruction or compromised respiratory status. Placing the client in the lateral position helps maintain a clear airway and facilitates breathing. Elevating the legs (choice
C) is not appropriate in this situation. Increasing the rate of IV infusion (choice
A) may not address the immediate respiratory concern. Administering oxygen using a nonrebreather mask (choice
B) can be important but placing the client in the lateral position takes priority in this case.
