The nurse is preparing to insert a fetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2) monitoring device. Which statement indicates that further teaching is necessary? "This device will:
1. "Prevent my having to have a cesarean birth."
2. "Get a direct fetal heart rate tracing."
3. "Help labor by opening my cervix faster."
4. "Determine how my baby is tolerating labor."
4
Rationale:
1. The fetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2) monitoring device provides information on how well oxygenated the fetus is, and will help determine when or if a cesarean birth is needed.
2. The fetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2) monitoring device indicates oxygenation saturation of the fetus; it does not monitor the heart rate.
3. The fetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2) monitoring device indicates oxygenation saturation of the fetus; it does not facilitate labor.
4. The fetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2) monitoring device indicates oxygenation saturation of the fetus to determine how the fetus is tolerating the stress of labor.
