PCEO Region II Course Overview
AWHONN 1-Day Workshop:
Advanced Fetal Heart Monitoring Course
Description:
The Advanced Fetal Heart Monitoring Course is a one-day workshop focusing on the application of advanced fetal heart monitoring knowledge and skills in intrapartum nursing practice. It is designed by AWHONN for registered nurses who have successfully completed the AWHONN Intermediate Fetal Heart Monitoring (formerly called FHMPP) two-day workshop since spring 2006, and builds on the essential knowledge and skills gained through that IFMC two-day workshop.
Course Objectives
- Synthesize the knowledge and skills from the 2-Day IFMC and AFMC in the analysis of complex cases.
- Demonstrate necessary decision making for the proper selection and verification of FHM techniques in complex cases.
- Analyze complex FHM case scenarios.
- Correlate critical FHR patterns/characteristics with related maternal-fetal physiology and indicated clinical interventions in complex cases.
- Evaluate fetal-maternal response to interventions in complex cases.
- Describe the role and responsibility of the professional nurse in the use of FHM in complex cases.
- Communicate verbal and written data to verify accountability, legal responsibility, and risk management in complex cases.
Successful completion of a written examination is required for completing the workshop and earning continuing education credit. Participants should have taken the AWHONN 2-Day Intermediate Fetal Monitoring Course (IFMC) since spring 2006 to be successful in this course. They will be expected to review the AWHONN Fetal Heart Monitoring Principles & Practices, 3rd edition, NICHD nomenclature, and their IFMC workshop outline/notes in preparation for the workshop. A study guide will also be mailed to their home prior to the course.
