Intrapartum Nursing

Course: NSG0113

Substantial changes have occurred in care provided to childbearing persons and families during labour and birth. Students explore intrapartum factors affecting maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes. Focus is on the assessment and care of the childbearing person and fetus during labour and birth, including fetal health surveillance, labor support, pain management, labour induction and augmentation, and labour complications, such as fetal malpresentations and malpositioning, labour dystocia, shoulder dystocia, placental abnormalities, cord prolapse, precipitous birth and operative delivery. Learning tools and activities, such as theory-based learning, collaboration, discussion and simulation experiences assist students in expanding understanding of intrapartum care.
