This document discusses nursing care for women with high-risk pregnancies. It identifies various medical conditions, family histories, and complications that can increase risk during pregnancy. It also outlines tools to assess risk factors and monitor the health of the mother and fetus, such as the Hobel risk assessment tool, ultrasounds, alpha-fetoprotein testing, amniocentesis, non-stress tests, and contraction tests. The responsibilities of nurses include obtaining consent, providing comfort, ensuring aseptic technique for invasive procedures, and interpreting test results to identify any fetal compromise or reduced oxygenation.
