Hi Dixen,Yes, in her case it would be Fetal Heart Tones (FHT). Because she is pregnant, it is very important that you monitor the fetus status by listening to the fetal heart tones. Good Luck! I just finished that rotation today, so if you have anymore questions just ask!

I wonder if you nurses could help me with a couple of abbreviations, please. I just got my patient assignment today for clinical tomorrow (I'm a Freshman RN student). It's a 32 y/o pregnant woman (15 wks. gestation) who has Gastroparesis and Right Upper Extremity Thrombus. On the "Other Info," it says 1800 cal ADA diet, IV Heparin drip, and FHT checks. I looked in my Medical Terminolgy book for ADA and it wasn't listed, and it said FHT was Fetal Heart Tone. Is this what it would be in her case? And what is ADA?
I sure would appreciate any help you all could offer.
