    ASSESSMENT
    1. Greet the patient, introduce yourself and
    explain the procedure.

    2. Wash hands.

    3. Take the vital signs.


    PLANNING
    4. Place the client in supine position with
    knees slightly flexed.
    IMPLEMENTATION
    5. Palpate the client’s abdomen with warm
    hands.

    6. Measure the Fetal Length by measuring


    from symphysis pubis up to the fundus.

    7. First Maneuver: Fundal Grip


    Stand beside the patient and lay two hands above
    the abdomen just below the xyphoid process.
    Gently move the hands downward and palpate
    the fundus with the tips of the fingertips of both
    hands to define fetal parts present. If a hard round
    mass is palpated, it is the head. If it is soft,
    irregular and not movable, then it is the buttocks.

    8. Second Maneuver: Umbilical Grip


    Transfer one hand on the left side of the abdomen
    and the other hand on the right side of the
    abdomen. The right hand will apply gently
    pressure on the abdomen so that the uterus is
    more superficial to the other hand and the left
    hand will move in circular motion, palpating for the
    mass present.
    If numerous nodular masses are palpated, they
    are fetal extremities.
    If one palpates a hard resistant plane, it is the
    fetal back.

    Do the same procedure on the other side of the


    abdomen to confirm the findings.

    9. Third Maneuver: Pawlik’s/Paulik’s Grip


    Spread the thumb and the forefingers of one hand
    and place them just above the symphysis pubis
    and bring the fingers together.

    10. Fourth Maneuver: Pelvic Grip


    Face the patient’s feet and place both hands on
    the two sides of the lower abdomen above the
    inguinal ligaments to determine the fetal attitude
    or degree sliding your hands towards the
    symphysis pubis.
    If the head is present, one hand descent will be
    stopped by the cephalic prominence. The other
    hand descends more deeply and unobstructed. If
    the fetus is engaged, you cannot feel the cephalic
    prominence.

    11. Assist the client to a comfortable position.

    12. Wash hands.
