    Have the students find their heart pulse on the carotid artery of the neck. Use the index and middle finger to measure the pulse. Count the number of beats for 6 seconds and add a zero to the end of that number. This number represents the heart beats per minute. The heart pulse is located on either side of the wind pipe, next to the voice box. Allow the students to practice measuring their pulse to determine their resting heart rate. Explain that they need to try and reach a “Target Heart Rate” of about 150 - 200 beats per minute. If time allows, explain the reason the heart beats faster with exercise. Remind the students that they are the only ones that can increase their heart rate.…

Then, the nurse opened the Lactated Ringers wide so that they would enter the patient faster. Finally, the nurse changed the patient’s position from left sided to right sided and then to on all fours. These interventions did not improve the fetal heart rate. In order for the physician to determine that the fetal heart rate reading was completely accurate, he applied a fetal scalp electrode. The fetal heart rate reading…
