Study Notes
Core Concepts of Maternal and Newborn Nursing
- Childbirth methods are evolving with increased roles for support persons like Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) and doulas.
- Birth settings are diversifying, allowing for shorter hospital stays post-delivery.
- Family-centered care emphasizes collaboration in decision-making and sensitivity to cultural beliefs.
Prenatal Care and Risks
- Early and adequate prenatal care opens doors for high-quality preventative care.
- Home births pose high risks due to potential delays in medical intervention.
- Factors contributing to preterm birth include smoking, hypertension, unhealthy weight, diabetes, previous preterm birth, and multiple gestations.
Maternal and Fetal Health Considerations
- Maternal mortality statistics show an alarming rise, with 700-900 deaths annually.
- Common causes of morbidity include chronic diseases, harmful lifestyle habits, and environmental exposures.
- Maternal adaptation phases include Taking-In, Taking-Hold, and Letting-Go.
Postpartum Care and Support
- Postpartum period lasts approximately six weeks, requiring careful monitoring and support.
- Common postpartum mood disorders include baby blues and postpartum depression, affecting a significant percentage of mothers.
- Lochia stages: Rubra (dark red, first 3-4 days), Serosa (pinkish, 2 weeks), Alba (creamy or yellowish, up to 6 weeks).
Assessment and Interventions
- BUBBLE-EE framework guides postpartum assessments: Breast, Uterus, Bowels, Bladder, Lochia, Episiotomy, Extremities, Emotional status.
- Monitor for vital signs indicating infection or hemorrhage.
- Psychosocial assessments are crucial for identifying mood disorders and bonding issues.
Nursing Interventions
- Address comfort through non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic measures for postpartum discomfort.
- Promote early ambulation and balanced diets to assist recovery.
- Ensure safety through monitoring for orthostatic hypotension and risk of falls.
Infant Care and Adaptations
- Initiation of newborn circulation involves significant changes in gas exchange mechanisms.
- Normal heart rate: 110-160 bpm; respiratory rate: 30-60 breaths per minute.
- Key adaptations include thermoregulation, hepatic function (bilirubin conjugation), and immune response development.
Newborn Physical Assessment
- Monitor signs of respiratory distress such as nasal flaring, retractions, and abnormal respiratory patterns.
- Assess using the APGAR score at one and five minutes after birth to evaluate newborn’s adaptation.
Immunizations and Discharge Planning
- Essential immunizations include TDAP during pregnancy and RH immunoglobulin for RH-negative mothers after delivery.
- Educate about newborn care essentials, including feeding, developmental milestones, and warning signs of illness.
Family Dynamics and Support
- Acknowledge changing family roles and dynamics as caregivers adjust to new responsibilities.
- Promote continuous contact with the newborn to enhance bonding and family adjustment.
Intimate Partner Violence and Screening
- Implement universal screening for violence and establish rapport with patients for effective communication.
- Utilize the SAVE model: Screen, Ask, Validate, Evaluate to support victims of violence.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
- Focus on holistic treatment approaches, including aromatherapy, reflexology, and therapeutic touch.
- Address infertility concerns through assessment of male and female reproductive health factors.
Nutritional Guidance
- Encourage increased caloric intake (500 calories/day) for breastfeeding mothers.
- Highlight the importance of nutrition for both postpartum recovery and infant feeding, focusing on healthy diets.
Cesarean Birth Management
- Emphasize informed consent, pain management, and infection prevention in both pre- and post-operative care.
- Monitor closely for signs of complications such as hemorrhage and respiratory issues.
