Nursing assessment and interventions for a patient with Oligohydramnios

[Cheer4WVU]

I'm writing a paper on Oligohydramnios and have been doing a lot of research, however, I have not been able to find anything on nursing assessment and interventions for this condition. I know that the nurse should be asking the patient if they have been leaking any amniotic fluid as well as assessing the amount and condition of the fluid. I know that it is important to do NST's to monitor fetal movement and also decelerations that could be caused by cord compression. Since I do not have much experience in this area, I'm not sure what else the nurse should be doing.

Can anyone give me some more information on this subject or perhaps direct me to a link/article with more information on nursing assessment/interventions for the patient with Oligohydramnios?

I'm glad you found it helpful. I think it is an excellent resource for finding info for care plans and research papers etc.

Anyone else reading this should try out a search like this for their next paper.

Just remember to save the name of the book, author, website etc. that you use so you have all that for the bibliography.
