• January 22, 2025 Course Number: STAW2448967

This is an 8-hour in-person class, following an online preparation component, designed to relate physiology to essential fetal heart rate monitoring theory and skills in intrapartum clinical practice. It uses a nursing model to integrate assessment tools of instrumentation, decision making and communication skills.

Upon completion of the course, the participant will be able to:

• Interpret fetal heart rate monitoring using NICHD terminology within a safety culture framework of interdisciplinary teamwork
• Describe clinical interventions and related maternal-fetal physiology to optimize fetal oxygenation
• Demonstrate collaborative communication in the perinatal setting
• Demonstrate common perinatal procedures related to fetal monitoring

Participants are required to complete 4+ hours of online pre-work to be admitted to the in-person class. Pre-work MUST be completed at least 24 hours before your scheduled in-person class.

*** Each participant will need the individual key code that comes with the UNOPENED/UNUSED purchased student pack to be able to complete the pre-work/attend the class and get their certificate and CEUs/CMEs!!!

• Participants must purchase their own student packets (For LPCH Stanford Maternity Antepartum and L&D Staff, books will be provided. Please pick up your copy of the workbook from your unit nurse educator/CPQS.)
• Packet fees are separate from the course fee. Course fee has been updated to reflect this new process.
