Upon arrival to the birthing unit, the priority nursing action is to ensure that a signed maternal consent is on the chart. The nurse will cleanse and shave the abdomen, start an IV, and insert a catheter, but these interventions are not the priority. Laboratory work should have been obtained prior to the day of admission. |
