Preparation for maternal delivery Maternal delivery requires a series of preparations before delivery, and nurses need to cooperate during this process. First of all, you need to know the gestational age of the mother. Different examinations are required at different stages of pregnancy. Based on the examination results, nurses should promptly answer the maternal questions, provide psychological comfort, and make preparations. Nurses need to ensure that necessary items such as dressing gowns, towels, disinfectants, and instruments are prepared to ensure sterility. In addition, the maternal birth canal also needs to be thoroughly cleaned to avoid infection.
