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

A) FHR baseline 170/min: A fetal heart rate (FHR) baseline of 170 beats per minute is considered tachycardia and can indicate fetal distress or maternal complications, such as fever or dehydration. This finding requires prompt reporting to the provider for further evaluation and intervention. B) Early decelerations in the FHR: Early decelerations are typically benign and associated with head compression during contractions. They are not indicative of fetal distress and do not require immediate reporting. C) Contractions lasting 80 seconds: While contractions that last longer than 90 seconds can indicate potential complications, 80 seconds is still within a manageable range. However, monitoring for patterns is essential, but it does not require urgent reporting unless there are other concerning signs. D) Temperature 37.4° C (99.3° F): This temperature is within the normal range for a laboring woman and does not indicate infection or other complications. It is not a critical finding that necessitates reporting to the provider.
