What do High-Risk Obstetric Registered Nurses do?
High-risk obstetric (OB) nurses care for patients with conditions that put them at increased risk during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
They manage complex maternal and fetal conditions by monitoring, providing interventions, educating patients, and collaborating with the healthcare team to ensure optimal outcomes.
Their role includes identifying complications like preeclampsia or postpartum hemorrhage and implementing care plans to provide the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.
What they do
Patient Monitoring: Continuously monitor the mother’s and fetus’s well-being, including vital signs and fetal heart rate, to detect potential complications.
Complication Management: Provide interventions and treatment for high-risk conditions, such as:
- Gestational diabetes
- Preeclampsia
- Preterm labor
- Postpartum hemorrhage
- Maternal health conditions like cardiac issues or high blood pressure
Patient Education: Educate patients and families on managing high-risk conditions, including lifestyle adjustments, medication adherence, and understanding the signs of complications.
Team Collaboration: Collaborate closely with physicians, maternal-fetal specialists, and other healthcare team members to develop and implement comprehensive care plans.
Emotional Support: Offer compassionate, individualized care, serving as a source of comfort and understanding for patients navigating high-risk pregnancies.
Emergency Response: Be prepared to manage critical emergencies that can arise during labor and delivery.
Who they care for
High-risk OB nurses care for patients at increased risk due to factors such as:
- Fetal abnormalities identified during pregnancy
- Advanced maternal age (typically over 35)
- Pre-existing health conditions like diabetes, heart conditions, or high blood pressure
- Conditions that develop during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or Rh sensitization
- Lifestyle factors such as smoking or substance use
- Multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins or triplets)
