Study Notes
Kaplan Content
- There are 5 Kaplan questions on the midterm.
- Use the Kaplan Focused Review Tests to build your own tests and focus on remediating missed questions.
- Kaplan provides remediation for missed questions.
- Content Areas for Kaplan Questions: Reproductive.
Breastfeeding
- Nurses should instruct expectant parents about breastfeeding advantages.
- Nurses should intervene if a parent makes a statement suggesting that a baby will grow faster or sleep more with breast milk.
- The nurse should discuss the nutritional needs of a breastfeeding client compared to a pregnant client.
- The nutritional needs for lactation include more calories, but the same amount of protein, calcium, and fluids as a pregnant client.
- Nurses should advise new parents about the safety of drinking alcohol while breastfeeding. Alcohol has a depressant effect on the baby.
Contraception
- Nurses should advise clients to leave a diaphragm in place for 6 hours after intercourse.
Labor and Birth
- Clients who are 4cm dilated and 60% effaced should be informed that the cervix is 4 cm wide and the cervical canal is 60% shorter than normal.
Newborn Care at Birth
- Nurses should assess infants born via vaginal delivery, immediately checking for crying, movement of all extremities, respirations, and pulse rate.
- One minute after birth, the baby may have slightly cyanotic extremities, while five minutes later, extremities should be pink.
- At one and five minutes, the APGAR score should be 9 and 10 respectively.
Postpartum
- Nurses should observe a client for any signs of bleeding after ambulation.
- The client should be assessed for pooling of lochia.
- The nurse should assess the newborn's fundus which should be approximately 1 cm above the umbilicus 12 hours after delivery.
- The fundus should be firm and globular.
- The nurse should monitor the client for maternal complications, particularly changes in blood pressure.
- Nurses should observe the lochia flow after normal vaginal delivery.
Pregnancy: Fetal Complications
- The nurse should monitor a client with meconium-stained amniotic fluid for fetal distress and perinatal asphyxia.
Pregnancy: Prenatal Care
- Clients should be advised to apply cold compresses and wear supportive bras for breast tenderness during the 7th pregnancy month.
- The nurse should be prepared to discuss the appropriate amount of exercise during pregnancy with the client.
Normal Pregnancy:
- Gravidity is the number of pregnancies.
- Parity is the number of deliveries reaching viability (20 weeks).
- Twins count as one delivery.
- Physical changes to the body include: breast changes, amenorrhea, nausea and vomiting, urinary frequency, fatigue, quickening.
Normal Labor & Delivery & Postpartum
- Nursing assessment should include checking the time of rupture, the color of fluid, and a nitrazine paper test for accurate documentation.
- Checking for ferning patterns via microscopy, in addition to color assessment can provide useful clinical information about amniotic fluid.
- Uterine contractions' frequency and duration should also be documented.
Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) Monitoring
- Short-term fetal FHR variability, interpreted as regular beat-to-beat changes, is less clinically significant than long-term variability.
Fetal Disorders
- Fetal disorders include IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) and Rh disease.
NO VAGINAL EXAMS (hemorrhage)
- The patient may need stable management such as bed rest, fetal assessment, emotional support, and checking of H&H.
- The patient may have tocolytics(Magnesium sulfate) to stop the contractions.
- The patient will also be given blood products and IV fluids to minimize post-partum bleeding.
- The nurse should manage any abnormal placental adherence or prematurity detected in the infant.
Indications for a cesarean section
- Indications for a Cesarean section should be based on signs such as fetal distress, insufficient progress, and previous complications.
Additional Information
- Additional notes related to fetal assessments and management, amniocentesis, high-risk pregnancies, and other conditions.
- Important information about medications, and patient care is included.
