* Documentation and Reporting:
o Document all assessments, interventions, medications, and patient progress accurately in the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain compliance with hospital policies and legal standards.
o Maintain accurate and timely records of labor and delivery processes, including patient and fetal monitoring results.
