Nursing diagnosis-
Assessment-
Mother states that she is tired and does not know how much longer she is able to push.
Labor prolonged to over 24 hours, mother is getting tired and as such is pushing ineffectively and fetus has not descended into birth canal.
Expected outcomes-
Maternal patient will participate in interventions to improve labor so that the baby is delivered within 12 hours. Fetal patient will display a fetal heart rate within
normal limits with no later decelerations and will show no distress for duration of labor.
Nursing interventions-
1. Assess fetal heart rate electronically. Note the variability, periodic changes and baseline rate.
3. Assess former position using leopold's maneuver and findings on internal examination.
3. In order to know potential dysfunctional labour it is necessary to determine the fetus is lie and position within the birth canal.
Evaluation-
Maternal patient participated in the interventions to improve labour and the baby was successfully delivered 8 hours after mother was fully dilated and effaced.
Fetal patient maintains a normal range of heart rate and showed no decelerations or distress throughout the labour process.
