  • Perform neonatal resuscitation and initial assessment of the newborn’s health immediately after delivery.

    • Postpartum Care :

  • Monitor the health and recovery of both the mother and the newborn in the immediate postpartum period, including assessing vital signs, bleeding, and uterine tone.
  • Assist with breastfeeding support, including teaching proper latch techniques, positioning, and addressing any concerns related to infant care.

  • Document all assessments, interventions, medications, and patient progress accurately in the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain compliance with hospital policies and legal standards.
  • Maintain accurate and timely records of labor and delivery processes, including patient and fetal monitoring results.

    • Collaboration and Communication :

  • Work closely with obstetricians, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and other healthcare team members to plan and implement individualized care for each patient.
  • Communicate clearly with patients and families about the progress of labor, potential complications, and available options, ensuring that informed consent is obtained for procedures when necessary.

    • Infection Control and Safety :

  • Follow infection control procedures to maintain a safe and sterile environment for labor, delivery, and postpartum care.
  • Ensure that all equipment used during labor and delivery is properly sterilized and functioning, including fetal monitoring devices, IV pumps, and delivery instruments.

    • Emergency and High-Risk Situations :

  • Respond to obstetric emergencies, such as shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, and neonatal resuscitation, utilizing appropriate protocols and teamwork.
