Which parameter is closely monitored in a client during the latent phase of the first stage of labor? During the first stage of labor, uterine contractions have just begun and the fetus is monitored for various parameters.
What must be monitored on the first stage of labor?During the 1st stage of labor, maternal heart rate and blood pressure and fetal heart rate should be checked continuously by electronic monitoring or intermittently by auscultation, usually with a portable Doppler ultrasound device (see fetal monitoring.
What is the latent phase of the first stage of labor?The first phase of the first stage of labor is called the latent phase, when contractions are becoming more frequent (usually 5 to 20 minutes apart) and somewhat stronger. However, discomfort is minimal. The cervix dilates (opens approximately three or four centimeters) and effaces (thins out).
What is the most important observation to monitor progress of labor?Good progress of labour is indicated by: a rate of dilation of the cervix that keeps it on or to the left of the alert line; evidence of fetal descent coinciding with cervical dilation; and contractions which show a steady increase in duration and the number in 10 minutes.
