Study Notes
Chorionic Villi
- Microscopic, finger-like projections involved in fetal development from week 8 until birth.
- Contain capillaries that facilitate blood flow and transfer nutrients from the mother to the fetus.
Responsible Parenthood
- Defined as the willingness and ability of parents to meet the needs of their family and children.
- Involves a collaborative approach between spouses regarding family size, spacing, and timing of children based on their aspirations.
- Essential for parents to recognize and support the happiness and desires of their children to nurture responsible individuals.
Qualities of Responsible Parenthood
- Marriage should occur at an appropriate age, ensuring both partners are physically and mentally ready.
- Family size should be a joint decision made by both parents.
- Encourages proper spacing between births to promote family health.
Principles of Responsible Parenthood
- Actions and decisions have significant impacts on family dynamics.
- Love and affection towards children should be abundant and unrestrained.
- Active involvement in children's lives is crucial for healthy development.
- Parenting styles should be adaptable to meet individual child needs.
- Establishment of clear rules and guidelines is important for discipline.
- Promoting independence in children fosters self-reliance.
- Consistency in parenting is key for stability.
- Use of gentle, non-harsh disciplinary methods is recommended.
- Providing explanations for rules helps children understand decisions.
- Treating children with respect is fundamental for building healthy relationships.
Amniotic Membranes and Fluid
- Amniotic membranes create a protective sac around the fetus.
- Amniotic fluid serves to cushion the fetus against trauma and regulates fetal temperature.
- Phospholipids from the membranes trigger the release of prostaglandins, initiating uterine contractions during labor.
Goals and Philosophy of Maternal and Child Health Nursing (MCHN)
- Focusing on the health of childbearing and childrearing families.
- Main goal: to promote and maintain optimal family health.
Theoretical Frameworks in MCHN
- Hildegard Peplau: Emphasizes health promotion via interpersonal relationships.
- Calista Roy: Views individuals as biopsychosocial systems interacting with their environment.
- Dorothea Orem: Advocates for providing care when individuals cannot care for themselves.
Roles and Responsibilities of MCH Nurses
- Acknowledge families as a whole and partners in care.
- Engage in preconceptual health care, pregnancy care across all trimesters, puerperium, and perinatal infant care.
- Serve as advocates for the rights of families, including the fetus.
Reproductive and Sexual Health Concepts
- Procreative health involves producing offspring, while childbearing refers to the act of giving birth.
- Childrearing encompasses the upbringing of children, and reproductive health addresses related processes at different life stages.
Female Reproductive System: Breasts
- Mammary glands are situated anterior to the pectoral muscle, influenced by high estrogen levels during puberty leading to increased size.
- Breasts consist of approximately 20 lobes; each lobe contains acinar cells that produce milk delivered to the nipple through lactiferous ducts.
- The ampulla serves as a milk reservoir before breastfeeding occurs.
Male Reproductive System
- Gynecomastia may occur in males during puberty, leading to an increase in breast size.
