The administration of intravenous fluids to nulliparous women in labour: A retrospective clinical chart review and fluid balance documentation audit
In Australia, midwives are integral to providing safe and supportive care to women in labour. The administration of intravenous (IV) fluids is a frequent clinical intervention performed by midwives. At present, practices surrounding IV fluid administration to women during labour within Australia are largely undescribed and there is a limited amount of robust evidence available to guide practice.

Capability for practice: Rethinking nursing education to promote self-care and resilience
Recent prompts to consider a rethink of resilience in nursing practice and education (Moroney& Strickland, 2021) serve as a timely cue to reflect more broadly on the nursing curricula developed for pre-registration nursing education.
