Shoulder Dystocia

The patient was experiencing painful contractions and discomfort during labor with the fetal chin appearing fixed in the perineum, indicating a diagnosis of shoulder dystocia which puts the mother at risk for injuries. The nurse's interventions included assessing risks, monitoring the patient's condition, assisting with the McRoberts maneuver to rotate the baby for delivery, preparing for possible episiotomy or c-section, and evaluating hydration due to risks from prolonged labor. After 30 minutes of effective nursing care, the baby was successfully delivered and the patient's condition improved.
