In this episode, we review how to assess fetal well-being during labor using both noninvasive and invasive methods. Starting with Leopold maneuvers to determine fetal position, we then break down intermittent auscultation and continuous electronic fetal monitoring—including when to use each and how to interpret what you see and hear. You’ll learn how to classify fetal heart rate patterns, evaluate uterine contractions, and apply the right interventions for both reassuring and nonreassuring signs. We also cover internal fetal monitoring, including its benefits, risks, and nursing responsibilities. This episode is essential for anyone prepping for clinical decision-making in labor and delivery.
