Maternal Child-Nursing Law
Maternal Child: Nursing Law
The nurse in Mississippi acted promptly when the patient was admitted to the hospital. The labor and delivery nurse in Mississippi started a fetal heart monitor as soon as the pregnant patient was admitted. This intervention is relevant because it enables the nurses to monitor the heartbeat of the fetus continuously. This helps to check the well-being of the fetus during maternal uterine contractions. Furthermore, they monitored and recorded maternal uterine contractions and checked the cervical dilatation of the patient. This is important because it helps to determine whether the patient is in actual labor and helps them to prepare for the delivery process (Çalik et al., 2018). The nurses also collaborated effectively with the patient’s Obs gynecologist and physician. This interprofessional collaboration ensured that the right clinical decisions were made and the baby was delivered by cesarean.
On the other hand, the nurse in Texas did not take the patient’s uterine contraction readings promptly. This is evident because it was reported that the tocotransducer was not working for the first three hours after patient admission. The nurse also demonstrated professional negligence when using Pitocin. The nurse did not adjust Pitocin based on the fetal heart rate tracings. Pitocin should only be increased when the fetal heart rate is reassuring (Gottlieb, 2019). Evidence demonstrated that there were periods when the fetal heart rate was non-reassuring. Pitocin levels were increased by the nurse during these periods of non-assuring heart rates. The nurse failed to collaborate with other professionals, such as the patient’s physician. Collaboration with the physician could have led to a cesarean that could have saved the baby from brain complications.
Monitoring fetal heart rate uterine contractions, and cervical dilatation are important. It helps to determine the progress of labor. It can also be used to make critical decisions, such as the need for a cesarean section. Nurses should uphold professional knowledge when using Cytotec and Pitocin. Nurses should work in collaboration with the patient’s physicians to ensure that the best clinical decisions are made.
