Study Notes
Contraceptive Teaching
- A water-soluble lubricant is recommended for use with condoms.
- Shortness of breath is a serious indication to report while on oral contraceptives.
- Clients should verify the presence of the IUD strings after menstruation.
IUD and Implantable Progestins
- Adverse effects of implantable progestins include irregular vaginal bleeding, weight gain, and breast changes.
- Clients on medroxyprogesterone should increase calcium intake and may experience irregular spotting.
Pregnancy Calculations and Terminology
- Estimated date of delivery for a last menstrual period on April 1 is January 8.
- Gravid, term, preterm, and living child information can be denoted as G3 T1 P0 A1 L1.
Signs of Pregnancy and Complications
- Probable signs include Goodell's sign, ballottement, and Chadwick's sign.
- Hypotension in pregnancy is often due to uterine weight on blood vessels.
- Vaginal bleeding is a critical symptom that requires prompt reporting.
Common Pregnancy Discomforts
- Nausea can be mitigated by eating dry foods before getting out of bed.
- Common discomforts at early gestation include breast tenderness, urinary frequency, and epistaxis.
Nutritional Needs During Pregnancy
- Dark green leafy vegetables are excellent calcium sources if the client dislikes milk.
- Weight gain should be monitored; a gain of 3.6 kg in the first trimester may require further evaluation.
Folic Acid and Iron Supplementation
- Folic acid deficiency can lead to neural tube defects.
- Iron supplements should be taken with orange juice to enhance absorption.
Labor and Delivery Considerations
- Clients in preterm labor at higher risk due to infections, multifetal pregnancies, and uterine abnormalities.
- Betamethasone may be prescribed to promote fetal lung maturity in preterm labor scenarios.
Monitoring and Interventions
- Signs of magnesium sulfate toxicity include low respiratory rate, decreased urinary output, and altered consciousness.
- Continuous assessment of fetal heart rate is crucial upon signs of rupture of membranes.
Infections and Their Management
- Gonorrhea may be treated with ceftriaxone.
- Safety precautions include avoiding undercooked meat to prevent TORCH infections.
Pain Management and Discomfort Relief
- During labor, implement breathing techniques and assess for client comfort.
- Monitor uterine contractions and fetal heart rate continuously for optimal maternal-fetal care.### Labor and Delivery
- Amniotomy is performed to facilitate labor progression; checking for fetal engagement is crucial prior.
- In cases of cord prolapse, finger pressure on the presenting part is prioritized to prevent fetal distress.
Postpartum Monitoring
- Saturated perineal pads with 12 cm dark-red discharge should be documented as moderate.
- Postpartum clients with no varicella immunity should receive a second vaccination during the postpartum visit.
- Breastfeeding mothers experiencing engorgement should apply cold compresses between feedings to alleviate discomfort.
Maternal Health Concerns
- Following a cesarean birth, clients experiencing urine leakage should be advised to perform Kegel exercises for pelvic floor strengthening.
- Persistent sore nipples with cracks and fissures warrant immediate contact with a healthcare provider for further assessment.
Newborn Care
- Epstein pearls are small white nodules found in a newborn's mouth; they are a normal finding.
- Assessing a newborn's reflexes, including the Moro reflex, involves allowing the newborn's head and trunk to fall backward.
- The presence of small white spots on the gums signifies Epstein pearls rather than pathological conditions.
Conditions and Complications
- Urinary tract infections risk factors include epidural anesthesia, urinary catheterization, and a history of UTIs.
- Symptoms such as tearfulness, lack of appetite, and sadness in the postpartum period may indicate postpartum blues.
Neonatal and Infant Care
- Newborns classified as appropriate for gestational age weigh 3,200g at 38 weeks.
- Circumcision is contraindicated in cases of hypospadias, family history of hemophilia, and epispadias.
- Postterm newborns may present with thin, loose skin and meconium staining of the umbilical cord.
Breastfeeding Guidance
- Proper breastfeeding technique involves ensuring the infant's nose, cheek, and chin touch the mother’s breast during latch.
- For bottle feeding, keep the nipple full of formula throughout the feeding to ensure proper intake.
Sibling Dynamics
- Postpartum mothers should be informed that behavioral changes in older siblings, like wetting themselves, are expected responses to a new baby in the family, and not necessarily indicative of a problem.
Safety and Procedure Protocols
- Administer erythromycin prophylactically to prevent ophthalmia neonatorum in newborns.
- Always match the mother's identification band with the newborn's band to ensure safety after procedures like circumcision.
Mental Health Awareness
- In cases of postpartum psychosis, priority actions include assessing for thoughts of self-harm or harm to the infant.
Newborn Adaptation
- Observing normal behaviors in newborns post-birth may indicate adaptation to extrauterine life, such as obligate nasal breathing, while signs like expiratory grunting may require intervention.
Family Bonding Strategies
- Promote bonding by encouraging parents to explore the newborn's features and facilitate participation of siblings in newborn care activities.
