Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for preterm births by teaching women the symptoms of preterm labor so that birth can be delayed until infants reach term. Nurses also need to be prepared for resuscitation at birth of high-risk infants and to plan developmental care that can help prevent conditions such as apnea and intraventricular hemorrhage. Actions to prevent maternal hypotension would not help achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for preterm labor.
