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

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.
