Study Notes
Hypersensitivity to Anesthetics
- Amide-type anesthetics can cause hypersensitivity reactions.
- Common side effects include burning sensation, tenderness, irritation, and inflammation.
- Possible skin reactions: contact dermatitis, urticaria, cutaneous lesions, and edema.
Lactation Suppression
- Historic drug therapy with agents like chlorotrianisene, Deladumone OB, and bromocriptine mesylate previously used to suppress lactation.
- Estrogenic treatments are less favored due to an increased risk of thrombophlebitis and potential carcinogenic effects.
- Current recommendations emphasize nonpharmacologic methods, such as:
- Wearing a supportive bra 24 hours a day for 10-14 days.
- Applying axillary ice packs to aid in suppression.
Promotion of Bowel Function
- Constipation frequently occurs postpartum, worsened by progesterone's effects on smooth muscle leading to reduced peristalsis.
- Interventions for postpartum bowel function may include medications to promote bowel movements.
-
Docusate Sodium is commonly used:
- Dosage: 100 mg PO twice daily.
- Softens stool through reduced surface tension.
- Compatible with breastfeeding.
- Caution: Contraindicated with intestinal obstruction, acute abdominal pain, and prolonged use risks bowel dependence.
Vitamin K Administration
- Newborns receive vitamin K (Phytonadione) to prevent deficiencies due to limited intestinal flora.
- Vitamin K facilitates the production of clotting factors to avoid low prothrombin levels.
- Common side effects include pain and edema at the injection site, with potential allergic reactions.
- Newborns may experience jaundice following large doses of vitamin K.
Case Analysis Instructions
- Analyze provided scenarios for nursing diagnoses for mother and newborn.
- Identify five nursing diagnoses for each, prioritizing them accordingly.
Constipation Concerns Post-Delivery
- Post-delivery concerns regarding bowel movements often arise, particularly after an episiotomy.
- Docusate with sennosides can assist with bowel movements, but may raise concerns for breastfeeding mothers.
- Nurses should address anxieties based on the medication’s safety profile and explain its compatibility with breastfeeding.
Assessment Rubrics
- Clear evaluations are crucial for the analysis of case scenarios based on criteria such as clarity, appropriate issue analysis, critical thinking, organization, and grammar/spelling accuracy.
