How does the available staff influence the selection of either continuous electronic or intermittent auscultation as the fetal-monitoring method?

The options

a. There must be a 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio regardless of the method used.

b. Staffing patterns do not influence fetal monitoring choices.

c. Use of intermittent auscultation requires a lower nurse-to-patient ratio.

d. More nurses are needed when electronic fetal monitoring is used because of increased medical interventions.

The ANSWER is c.

c. Use of intermittent auscultation requires a lower nurse-to-patient ratio.

Explanation:

a. There must be a 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio regardless of the method used.❌

A one-to-one ratio is important at the second phase of labor or in occurrence of a high-risk condition, irrespective of the monitoring method applied.

b. Staffing patterns do not influence fetal monitoring choices.❌

Staffing patterns do have an influence in conserving safe monitoring routine of the labor patient.

c. Use of intermittent auscultation requires a lower nurse-to-patient ratio.✔

Intermittent auscultation is largely staff-intensive.

d. More nurses are needed when electronic fetal monitoring is used because of increased medical ❌

Reduced nursing time is needed when carrying out electronic monitoring, this will allow the nurse to have increased time for educating, encouraging and supporting the laboring woman.

100 dollars because yeah

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.

the refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. thus, because na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.
