A nurse is preparing to assess fetal heart tones for a client who is at 12 weeks of gestation.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Position the ultrasound stethoscope above the symphysis pubis to assess the fetal heart rate. This is the correct action because placing the ultrasound stethoscope above the symphysis pubis allows for optimal detection of the fetal heart rate. This location is where the fetal heart sounds are best heard due to the proximity to the fetal heart. Placing the stethoscope in this location ensures accurate assessment of the fetal heart rate.
Choice A is incorrect because placing the client in a side-lying position is not necessary for assessing the fetal heart rate with an ultrasound stethoscope.
Choice B is incorrect because measuring fundal height is not relevant to assessing the fetal heart rate.
Choice D is incorrect because Leopold maneuvers are used to determine fetal position and presentation, not to assess the fetal heart rate.
