NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 35: Labor and Delivery: Stages of Labor, Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring, and Nursing Interventions

Sarah Mitchell separates true from false labor, explains the five P's, dilation, effacement, and station, then walks through the four stages of labor with the nursing care in each. She teaches the fetal heart rate baseline of 110 to 160, variability, VEAL CHOP, and the intrauterine resuscitation sequence for late and variable decelerations, rupture of membranes and cord prolapse, epidural and opioid precautions, and the emergencies of precipitous birth, shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, and amniotic fluid embolism. Scenarios cover late decelerations on oxytocin and a prolapsed cord.
