Summary
Assessment of maternal and fetal well-being is the focus of prenatal care. It is the role of the nurse to screen the woman, monitor vital signs, perform other assessments as delegated by the primary care provider (PCP), answer questions and provide appropriate teaching. A nurse and trusted health care provider play a large role in teaching women about the importance of early and continued prenatal care [1]. It is used to assess the wellbeing of the fetus at risk of adverse prenatal outcome associated with uteroplacental insufficiency and is recommended for pregnancies that are at risk for hypoxia and stillbirth through providing early identification and intervention for fetal compromise [2] [3]
