Abstract
Physiologic birth promotes the practice of normal labor and birth, in which a woman's innate power is supported and unnecessary interventions are avoided. Nurses are in a unique position to support physiologic birth because they attend almost all births. Several resources are available to assist nurses in promoting physiologic birth, including BirthTOOLS.org, a new online resource developed by the American College of Nurse-Midwives in collaboration with other organizations. By using resources such as BirthTOOLS.org and others, nurses can become familiar with the evidence surrounding physiologic birth and can contribute to improved patient safety and quality of care by supporting physiologic birth.
