A nurse is assessing a client who is in active labor. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

An FHR baseline of 170/min is fetal tachycardia (normal 110–160/min) and requires provider notification. Fetal tachycardia may indicate fetal distress, maternal fever, chorioamnionitis, fetal hypoxia, or maternal medications. Contractions lasting 80 seconds are within the normal range (up to 90 seconds). Early decelerations mirror contractions and are benign — they represent fetal head compression. Temperature of 37.4° C is within normal limits during labor.
