    • Access and Cost: Consideration of healthcare accessibility and affordability.
    • Process: Focus on prompt service, interpersonal care, and emotional support among providers.

    Goals of Maternal and Child Health (MCH)

    • Ensure children grow within loving family environments, equipped with health supervision and proper nutrition.
    • Emphasize healthy living education for both mothers and children.

      • Family-centered care approach.
      • Community involvement in health promotion.
      • Evidence-based practices guiding care.
    • Nurses play a vital role in supporting family health and well-being.

    Role of a Maternal and Child Health Nurse

    • Views families as partners in care provision.
    • Protects the rights of all family members, including unborn children.
    • Engages in high levels of independent nursing functions, particularly in teaching and counseling.

    Female Reproductive System Overview

    • Females have a finite supply of egg cells, unlike continuous sperm production in males.
    • Early life development involves migration and differentiation of germ cells into oogonia.

    Ovaries

    • Ovaries are solid structures (approximately 2 cm long, 1 cm wide) developing from embryonic tissue near the kidneys.
    • Major functions include ovulation and the maturation of egg cells.

    Oocyte Development

    • Oogonia undergo mitosis; approximately 7 million primary oocytes form by the fifth month of fetal development.
    • Most oocytes degenerate (atresia) by birth, with about 1 million remaining, reducing to 400,000 at puberty.
    • Only about 400-500 oocytes mature during a woman’s reproductive life.

    Follicle Development

    • Each ovarian follicle contains an immature egg oocyte, surrounded by a layer of follicle cells.
    • Follicle maturation is stimulated by FSH from the pituitary gland.
    • Thecal and granulosa cells collaborate to produce estrogen.
    • Zona pellucida forms a protective layer around the developing egg.
