ANS: B
Fetal monitoring strips (along with other documentation) can show that the standard of care was met if questions arise. An important nursing responsibility in caring for women with electronic fetal monitoring is to ensure strips are clear enough to be interpreted and strips are placed in the patient's chart according to facility policy. Education and diversionary activities are important actions, but do not take priority over this legal responsibility. Restricting visitors may or may not be appropriate.
