Study Notes

Partnerships to Achieve the Goal

Gender and sexuality address the social and emotional aspects of being male or female.

Terminologies

Infant Mortality Rate: Number of deaths among infants (0-1 year) per 1000 live births.
Maternal Mortality Rate: Number of maternal deaths within 42 days of pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum.
Erotic Sexuality: Involves sexual love and arousal.

Types of Sexual Orientation

Heterosexuality: Sexual attraction to the opposite gender; often referred to as straight.
Homosexuality: Attraction to the same gender; including terms "gay" for men and "lesbian" for women.
Bisexuality: Attraction to both men and women.
Transexuality: Individuals who identify with a gender distinct from their biological sex; may pursue sex-change surgeries.

Human Sexual Response Cycle

Excitement Phase: Triggered by physical and psychological stimuli that lead to arterial dilation and increased blood flow in the genital area.

Nursing Interventions

Actual treatments and actions designed to assist patients in reaching their health goals.

Pathophysiology

Study of physical and biological abnormalities due to disease.

Medical Diagnosis

Process of identifying a disease through physical exams and diagnostic tests like blood tests or imaging.

Diagnostic Tests

Approaches used to gather clinical information for making health decisions.

Health Education

A social science integrating multiple disciplines (biological, environmental, psychological) to promote health and prevent disease.

Development of the Reproductive System

Gonads: Organs responsible for producing sex cells; ovaries for females and testes for males.
Hormones play crucial roles:
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Stimulates testosterone production.
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Supports spermatogenesis.

Female Reproductive System

Comprises the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, external genitalia, and mammary glands.

Oogenesis and Fertilization

Oogonia: Cells that develop into oocytes.
Primary Oocyte: Oogonia that are halted in prophase I.
Secondary Oocyte: Released after the first meiotic division; involved in ovulation.

Family Planning Methods

Natural Family Planning: Involves abstaining from intercourse during fertile days.
Artificial Family Planning: Includes mechanical, chemical, and surgical methods of contraception.
Basal Body Temperature Method: Tracks temperature changes to predict ovulation.
Cervical Mucus Method: Observes changes in cervical mucus to determine fertility.
Coitus Interruptus: Withdrawal method before ejaculation; offers minimal protection against conception.
Hormonal Methods of Contraception:
- Include transdermal patches, vaginal rings, IUDs, and oral contraceptive pills.

Notable Points

Natural family planning has a failure rate of approximately 9%.
Cervical mucus changes are key indicators of ovulation.
Hormonal methods regulate menstrual cycles and significantly reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancies.

Importance

Understanding reproductive and sexual health promotes better health outcomes for individuals and communities.
