The obstetrician opts to use a vacuum extraction device for a delivery. The nurse understands that:
 
  1. There is little risk with vacuum devices.
  2. There should be further fetal descent with the first two pulls.
  3. Traction is applied between contractions.
  4. The woman often feels increased discomfort during the procedure.

Rationale:
1. There is increased risk of complications with the use of a vacuum device.
2. There should be further descent with the first two pulls on the vacuum device, which will indi-cate there is nothing holding the fetus back.
3. Traction should be applied with contractions to maximize the effort.
4. The woman often feels only slight pressure during a vacuum extraction if she has adequate re-gional anesthesia.
