Study Notes
Obstetric Considerations
- Hand or facial edema after 20 weeks of gestation is nonspecific for preeclampsia but requires investigation.
- Obstetric history includes terminology:
- "Gravida" refers to the number of pregnancies.
- "Para" indicates the number of births after 24 weeks' gestation, irrespective of live or stillbirth.
- Further breakdown of parity includes term deliveries, preterm deliveries, abortions, and living children.
- Uterine stretching causes round ligament pain, often more pronounced on the right side due to dextrorotation and associated hydronephrosis.
Exercise and Nutrition
- Exercise and nutrition guidelines during pregnancy ensure maternal and fetal health.
Vaccination and Screening
- TDAP vaccine recommended between 27-36 weeks of gestation, regardless of prior immunization history.
- Influenza vaccine is advised at any time during influenza season.
- Pneumococcal, meningococcal, and Hepatitis B vaccinations are safe during pregnancy.
- MMR, poliovirus, and varicella vaccines should be avoided during pregnancy.
- Rubella titers should be checked, with immunization considered post-birth for non-immune individuals.
- Assess Rh status and antibody type at initial prenatal visit, again at 28 weeks, and at delivery.
- Rh-negative women should receive Anti-D immunoglobulin at 28 weeks and post-delivery if the infant is Rh-positive.
Preeclampsia and Ectopic Pregnancy
- Ectopic pregnancy presents with abdominal pain, adnexal tenderness, and abnormal uterine bleeding, often resulting in shock from a ruptured mass.
- Clinical features of ectopic pregnancy include a palpable adnexal mass, usually large and ill-defined.
Older Adult Assessment Techniques
- Functional status assessment includes vital signs, with low weight indicating poor nutrition.
- Thorough examination involves evaluation of skin, hair, nails, eyes, ears, mouth, cardiovascular system, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system.
- Neurological assessments entail memory evaluation, such as serial 7s and spelling backwards, with poor performance indicating potential delirium or dementia.
Physiological Changes with Aging
- Aging affects cardiovascular health, often leading to increased systolic blood pressure and widened pulse pressure.
- Common age-related conditions: cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
- Risk factors for erectile dysfunction (ED) in older men include diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking.
Pain and Screening Assessments
- Regular pain assessments are crucial in older adults.
- Screening for substance use and potential abuse, including elder mistreatment, is essential; higher prevalence found in those with dementia or depression.
Fall Risk Assessment
- Install bright lighting, handrails, and secure pathways to prevent falls.
- Recommendations include removing tripping hazards and ensuring medical items are easily accessible.
- Safety measures like smoke alarms and emergency plans are necessary for elder safety.
JNC Blood Pressure Guidelines
- For adults over 60, the target blood pressure is less than or equal to 150/90 mmHg.
- If treatment results in systolic blood pressure below 140 mmHg without adverse effects, adjustments are not required.
