From the Back Cover: "

As over 85% of pregnant women entering labor and delivery floors undergo fetal monitoring, it is essential that nurses in this field are well-versed in the signs of fetal well-being and compromise obtained from FHR monitoring. Michelle Murray and company have created this workbook to provide a complete guide to fetal monitoring, useful for any nurse currently working in a labor and delivery setting as well those just starting their studies. You will not find a more essential volume on this topic, covering almost all issues you will encounter, including:

,
• Systematic assessment of the pregnant patient
• External and internal fetal monitoring
• A step-by-step guide to the different equipment and procedures of fetal monitoring
• Detailed reproductions of actual fetal monitor tracings
• NICHD definitions to describe alternative terminology for documentation
• Skill testing exercises and true/false questions at each chapter end
• Ways to identify ineffective actions that can delay timely interventions

Along with its use as a training guide, Essentials of Fetal Monitoring is an excellent reference for use at the bedside and should be a part of any labor and delivery nurse's repertoire.
