  • 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 :

  • Recognize signs of complications, such as fetal distress, preeclampsia, and hemorrhage, and initiate appropriate interventions or escalate care as needed.
  • Respond to obstetric emergencies, such as shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, and neonatal resuscitation, utilizing appropriate protocols and teamwork.
