    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.
