    Study Notes

    Family Centered Practice

    • Emphasizes the role of the family in decision-making, believing parents know best.

    Cultural Competency

    • Behaviors and attitudes that enable individuals to work effectively with clients from diverse backgrounds.

    Muscle Tone

    • Hypertonic: High muscle tone.
    • Hypotonic: Low muscle tone

    Muscular Dystrophy (MD)

    • Characterized by the absence or low levels of dystrophin, a protein critical for muscle function.
    • Causes muscle fragility and damage.

    Maternal Conditions

    • Diabetes:
      • Hyperglycemia in the mother can lead to severe hypoglycemia in the infant after birth.
    • Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy:
      • Chronic hypertension.
      • Preeclampsia-eclampsia.
      • Pre-eclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension.
      • Transient hypertension.
    • Trauma & Abuse:
      • Preterm labor is the most common outcome.

    Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP)

    • Chronic Hypertension: Elevated blood pressure (≥ 140/90) present before pregnancy or before 20 weeks gestation.
    • Preeclampsia-eclampsia: Hypertension after 20 weeks gestation with proteinuria or edema.
    • Pre-eclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension: Preeclampsia complicating existing hypertension from conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, or common hypertension.
    • Transient Hypertension: Gestational hypertension or hypertension in the later half of pregnancy. Affects 10-20% of pregnancies.

    Obstetric Conditions

    • Preterm Labor: Occurs between 24-34 weeks gestation. Contributes to 85% of neonatal deaths. Associated with placental hemorrhaging and hypertension.
    • Preterm Membrane Rupture: Premature rupture of the amniotic sac. Can lead to chorioamnionitis, a bacterial infection of the amniotic membranes.
    • Placental Abruption: Premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall. A significant cause of both maternal and fetal death.
    • Umbilical Cord Prolapse: Occurs when the umbilical cord descends into the birth canal ahead of the infant during labor. Can compress the cord, compromising blood flow to the fetus.

    Special Conditions

    • Abnormal Placentation:
      • Placenta Previa: Placenta is implanted low in the uterus and lies over the cervical opening.
      • Placenta Accrete: Placenta abnormally attaches itself to the muscular wall of the uterus.
    • Multiple Gestation: Significantly increases the risk of low birth weight (LBW) and preterm labor.
    • Abnormal Presentation:
      • Breech: The fetal butt or lower extremities present during labor.
    • Birth Injury & Defects:
      • Facial nerve palsy.
      • Clavicle fracture.
      • Brachial plexus injury.
